If you are curious, you'll find the puzzles around you. If you are determined, you will solve them.

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

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.

Without satisfaction, you cannot have compassion. You have to be satisfied souls, then your compassion will act.

I don’t mind failing, but if I succeed it better be worth succeeding for.
