“In the early 1980s, Graham worked hard to turn the Repository into a respectable business, rather than a ludicrous one: Graham's wife didn't like keeping the sperm at the Escondido estate. Not only had the house been picketed, but a Japanese trespasser had once made a run at the sperm, only to be nipped by a family dog.”
David Plotz, The Genius Factory: The Curious History of the Nobel Prize Sperm Bank

“Like my father, Donor White could hold in his head the incompatible demands of rationality and irrationality, of facts and love.”
