“The team must consist of three sorts of specialists, he says. Otherwise the revolution, whether in politics or the arts or the sciences or whatever, is sure to fail. The rarest of these specialists, he says, is an authentic genius - a person capable of having seemingly good ideas not in in general circulation. "A genius working alone," he says, "is invariably ignored as a lunatic." The second sort of specialist is a lot easier to find; a highly intelligent citizen in good standing in his or her community, who understands and admires the fresh ideas of the genius, and who testifies that the genius is far from mad. "A person like this working alone," says Slazinger, "can only yearn loud for changes, but fail to say what their shaped should be." The third sort of specialist is a person who can explain everything, no matter how complicated, to the satisfaction of most people, no matter how stupid or pigheaded they may be. "He will say almost anything in order to be interesting and exciting," says Slazinger. "Working alone, depending solely on his own shallow ideas, he would be regarded as being as full of shit as a Christmas turkey.”

“We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate... We are eager to tunnel under the Atlantic and bring the old world some weeks nearer to the new; but perchance the first news that will leak through into the broad flapping American ear will be that Princess Adelaide has the whooping cough.”

“It was us they were talking about, with the objectivity of businessmen completing a routine transaction. In Barrett there wasn’t even the hint of remorse or conscience. Some folks, they say, are born incapable of those things. Often they behave beyond suspicion, those sick people, until it’s too late. Sometimes they’re good-looking, charming, intelligent. Maybe they liked to pull the wings off flies more than other kids. But boys will be boys. If they served in the Army they made lousy soldiers, complaining and griping all the time about discipline, until they got a taste of combat. They often won medals, then, and were afraid but didn’t go stiff and inadequate with fear like some of their buddies. They felt above the crowd. They were arrogant. Laws didn’t apply to them. They could kill you with an absolute lack of concern if it suited them. They were called psychopathic personalities, P.P.’s, and Barrett was one of them. It looked as if we were going to die.”

“La photo qui détermine tout — Et si tu devenais enfin l’auteur de ta photo ? Il y a, quelque part dans une boîte, sur un téléphone ou dans un album oublié, une vieille photo de toi. Un portrait scolaire, un instant de fête, un selfie pris à la volée, une photo de toi dans un moment particulier. Quand tu tombes dessus, tu t’interroges parfois : « Qui était vraiment cette personne sur la photo ? Qu’est-ce que je ressentais, à quoi pensais-je ? Est-ce que je me reconnais encore dans ce regard, ce sourire, cette posture… ? » La “photo” au sens de ce livre n’est pas seulement une image figée sur papier glacé ou sur un écran. C’est la façon dont tu te regardes, dont tu te présentes, dont le monde te perçoit et parfois juge, parfois admire, parfois questionne, mais aussi la manière dont tu imprimes ta marque dans la mémoire des autres. Et si tu pouvais choisir ce que tu veux voir, ressentir et faire rayonner ? Et si tu pouvais, petit à petit, redessiner ta propre photo, non seulement pour qu’elle soit plus vraie et libre, mais aussi pour qu’elle reflète la meilleure version de ton intérieur, celui que tu as façonné et transformé avec soin, pour toi en premier, et pour les autres ensuite ?”
