“Prime numbers are divisible only by 1 and by themselves. They hold their place in the infinite series of natural numbers, squashed, like all numbers, between two others, but one step further than the rest. They are suspicious, solitary numbers, which is why Mattia thought they were wonderful. Sometimes he thought that they had ended up in that sequence by mistake, that they'd been trapped, like pearls strung on a necklace. Other times he suspected that they too would have preferred to be like all others, just ordinary numbers, but for some reason they couldn't do it. This second thought struck him mostly at night, in the chaotic interweaving of images that comes before sleep, when the mind is too weak to tell itself lies.”

“Primeiramente, senti o contato do meu corpo nas asas de um anjo, depois veio a sensação do voo-teste de um paraquedista em domingo no clube, seguida do velejar britânico no litoral do Taiti, acompanhado da delícia de uma orquestra caprichando a mais bela melodia, que se transformou numa suave intoxicação por champanhe francês e por fim algo que se abria, com toda a certeza as montanhas de Ali Babá, oferecendo um banquete de diamantes em seu interior exclusivo, úmido e misterioso.”

“Primer modo para hacer una buena elección:
El primer punto es proponer delante la cosa sobre que quiero hacer elección, así como un oficio o beneficio para tomar o dejar, o de otra cualquier cosa que cae en elección mutable. Segundo. Es menester tener por obyecto el fin para que soy criado, que es para alabar a Dios nuestro Señor y salvar mi ánima; y con esto hallarme indiferente, sin afección alguna desordenada. Quinto. Después que así he discurrido y raciocinado a todas partes sobre la cosa propósita, mirar dónde más la razón se inclina; y así, según la mayor moción racional, y no moción alguna sensual, se debe hacer deliberación sobre la cosa propósita.”

“Primera falacia desenmascarada: tomar testosterona no nos cambia de sexo; cambia (o puede cambiar, dependiendo de la dosis) el modo en el que el género es descodificado socialmente. Segunda falacia desenmascarada: la testosterona no tiene por qué ser utilizada para cambiar de género, sino simplemente como cualquier otra droga, para modificar el cuerpo y sus afectos.”

“Primeval forests! virgin sod! That Saxon has not ravish'd yet, Lo! peak on peak in stairways set- In stepping stairs that reach to God! Here we are free as sea or wind, For here are set Time's snowy tents In everlasting battlements Against the march of Saxon mind.”

“Primitive man has never been able to limit his needs to what is strictly necessary. His friendships among the souls are not confined to the creatures that are useful to his body or dangerous to his life. When we see how man in his poetry, his myths and legends creates an imaginative counterpart of his surroundings, how he arranges his ceremonial life, at times indeed his whole life, according to the heavens and their movement, how at his festivals he dramatizes the whole creation of his limited world through a long series of ritual scenes, we gain some idea how important it was to him to underpin his spiritual existence. His circle of friends spans from the high lights of heaven to the worm
burrowing in the soil; it includes not only the bug that may be good to eat, but also innocuous insects that never entered into his list of delicacies; it comprises not only the venomous snake, but also harmless crawling things that have no claim on his interest save from the fact of their belonging to his country.”

“Primitive societies without religion have never been found.”
“Primitive societies, or social groupings, had shamans, and some of them even more recent in time. Shamans were tricksters. There was a tradition of the trickster, and the trickster was a clown, a humorous fellow. His task was to trick the gods, to humor the gods into laughing, so that there was access to the divine - because laughter is a moment when we are completely ourselves.”
“Primitive superstition lies just below the surface of even the most tough-minded individuals, and it is precisely those who most fight against it who are the first to succumb to its suggestive effects.”

“Primitive times are lyrical, ancient times epical, modern times dramatic. The ode sings of eternity, the epic imparts solemnity tohistory, the drama depicts life. The characteristic of the first poetry is ingeniousness, of the second, simplicity, of the third, truth.”

“Primitive veddhas moulded images of women with full-blown breasts and legs. This was not to evoke sensuous pleasure, but as symbolic images related to their faith in religious fertility rites with the aim of increasing their return from harvesting and hunting. The modern artist magnifies the breasts of the woman in a painting in order to derive and to evoke erotic pleasure. That is how vulgarity enters their art.”

“Primo giorno di navigazione
1 gennaio 1900, al largo della Costa Orientale degli Stati Uniti
«Mr Benton, l’accompagno al suo posto al tavolo del comandante.»
Con un piccolo cenno di ringraziamento, Ken seguì lo steward nella sfarzosa sala da pranzo dell’Oceanic II, tutta marmi, specchi e lampadari di cristallo, sino al tavolo centrale imbandito con una tale quantità di bicchieri e posate da mettere probabilmente in soggezione più di un commensale. Durante la traversata avrebbe diviso i pasti con il comandante, Mr Cameron, il suo vice, il medico di bordo e una ventina di passeggeri di prima classe, considerati, per varie ragioni a lui poco comprensibili, importanti.Ne aveva ricevuto l’elenco completo solo pochi minuti prima dal valletto che era andato a prelevarlo nel suo alloggio, per scortarlo, come un secondino, sino alla sala da pranzo: un trattamento di riguardo per i viaggiatori importantiche occupavano le suite del ponte principale del transatlantico.
In realtà, Ken aveva sperato di poter trascorrere i cinque giorni della traversata da solo, a elaborare la delusione e a piangere sulla sua vita che non sarebbe trascorsa al fianco della donna che ancora amava disperatamente. E invece… era stato catapultato in un mondo dove gli obblighi sociali sembravano essere ancora più assillanti che sulla Quinta Avenue.
Forse, a pensarci meglio, da domani avrebbe deciso di consumare tutti i pasti chiuso nella sua cabina, servito da Jim, il suo valletto. Forse ci sarebbe rimasto per tutti e cinque i giorni, chiuso nella sua cabina.
Con l’umore nero che si ritrovava, che a dire il vero rasentava la disperazione, non aveva alcuna voglia di sorridere e scambiare chiacchiere inutili con un gruppo di spocchiosi aristocratici britannici e di suoi connazionali milionari, tutta gente che frequentava l’alta società della East Coast e Wall Street; come lui stesso, del resto. Sperò almeno di sedere vicino a uno degli ufficiali di bordo, in modo da poter intrattenere una conversazione che andasse al di là degli ultimi pettegolezzi. Compreso quello che probabilmente si era già diffuso in tutta New York e che riguardava la patetica rottura del suo fidanzamento con Camille Brontee.
Dannazione! Se qualcuno gli avesse chiesto qualcosa a proposito, o vi avesse solo accennato, la tentazione di rifilargli un bel cazzotto sul naso sarebbe stata enorme. Si guardò la mano destra, ancora dolorante a causa del pugno che solo il giorno prima aveva tirato in faccia a Frank Raleigh, l’uomo per cui Camille lo aveva lasciato.”
