“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.

Su dominante madre le había educado para ser un perfecto conformista.”

“Donde hoy están Sonora, Chihuahua, Arizona y Nuevo México había una Atlántida, un país de en medio. Los mexicanos y los gringos como dos niños sordomudos dándose la espalda y los apaches corriendo entre sus piernas sin saber exactamente adónde porque su tierra se iba llenando de desconocidos que salían a borbotones de todos lados.”

“{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.”
