Todays Quote

Birthday Boy
Erno Rubik
A good puzzle, it's a fair thing. Nobody is lying. It's very clear, and the problem depends just on you.
Erno Rubik

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.
Erno Rubik

But for me, it was a code I myself had invented! Yet I could not read it.
Erno Rubik

But thanks to my invention, my capitalist friends and I were able to bring the government to its knees.
Erno Rubik

I did not plan to make the Cube.
Erno Rubik

I do not truly consider myself an icon, but the Cube has been quite successful.
Erno Rubik

I want to try to keep my life the same.
Erno Rubik

I wanted nothing else than to make the object as perfect as possible.
Erno Rubik

I was somewhat out of place among my classmates; I could not be as bohemian as they were.
Erno Rubik

I'm still the same person, thinking the same way, so it's possible I will invent something.
Erno Rubik



I've always been passionate about geometry and the study of three-dimensional forms.
Erno Rubik

In my teaching, I enjoyed creating models to clearly communicate my thoughts.
Erno Rubik

It was tremendously satisfying to watch this color parade.
Erno Rubik

Like after a nice walk when you have seen many lovely sights you decide to go home, after a while I decided it was time to go home, let us put the cubes back in order. And it was at that moment that I came face to face with the Big Challenge: What is the way home?
Erno Rubik

Now, after the Cube, I still don't have any plans to make anything like it.
Erno Rubik

Once I completed the Cube and demonstrated it to my students, I realized it was nearly impossible to put down.
Erno Rubik

Our whole life is solving puzzles.
Erno Rubik

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.
Erno Rubik

The Cube is an imitation of life itself - or even an improvement on life.
Erno Rubik

The problems of puzzles are very near the problems of life.
Erno Rubik
