'This concept that I want to describe will perhaps sound absurd,' is the sort of preface of which Nash used frequently.

— Sylvia Nasar, A Beautiful Mind

He was, moreover, acutely self-conscious about being a few years older than some of the brilliant young men around the Princeton mathematics department.”
— Sylvia Nasar, A Beautiful Mind
