“Eu sei, eu sei, tu queres os teus "génios" e estás disposto a homenageá-los. No entanto, tu queres génios simpáticos, bem comportados, moderados, sem nada de insensato, não a variedade não domesticada que derruba a todos os obstáculos e limites. Tu queres um génio limitado, aparado e podado, que possas exibir em desfiles pelas ruas das tuas cidades sem constrangimento”

“Harry había cedido, como siempre, y guardado la guitarra en el armario, donde a partir de entonces solo acumularía polvo. Cuando a veces tomaba un par de copas de vino tinto, la sacaba y se ponía a rasguear. Pero los sonidos que en otro tiempo fueran para él una liberación, ahora le recordaban dolorosamente los sueños abandonados con demasiada celeridad. Su dominante madre le había educado para ser un perfecto conformista.”

“{Replying to G. H. Hardy's suggestion that the number of a taxi (1729) was 'dull', showing off his spontaneous mathematical genius} No, it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as a sum of two cubes in two different ways, the two ways being 13 + 123 and 93 + 103.”

“Kelley also marked 1965 as a turning point for another profound reason. That year, he discovered the work of author Ayn Rand. She was a figure who embodied the inner fortitude he lacked. Her writings struck him with the force of lightning. Rand's fiercely armored heroes ignited a fierce resolve in Kelley. It was a fire that mere introspection could never spark. This was no longer a time for lingering in emotion. It demanded action. He abandoned drinking. He embraced a rigorous exercise regimen. He revolutionized his diet. He dropped twenty pounds.”
