"The problems of puzzles are very near the problems of life."; "The Cube is an imitation of life itself - or even an improvement on life."; "The Cube can seem alive as it heats up in your hand. The fact that each face of the Cube is made of three layers of three blocks has an important meaning."; "Our whole life is solving puzzles."; "Once I completed the Cube and demonstrated it to my students, I realized it was nearly impossible to put down."; …"It was tremendously satisfying to watch this color parade."; "In my teaching, I enjoyed creating models to clearly communicate my thoughts."; "I was somewhat out of place among my classmates; I could not be as bohemian as they were."; "I wanted nothing else than to make the object as perfect as possible."; "I want to try to keep my life the same."; "I do not truly consider myself an icon, but the Cube has been quite successful."; "I did not plan to make the Cube."; "But thanks to my invention, my capitalist friends and I were able to bring the government to its knees."; "But for me, it was a code I myself had invented! Yet I could not read it."; "And, not only in Budapest. I worked very closely with a very powerful government organization, which shall remain unidentified, to develop the mass marketed version of the Cube."
