Child prodigy

According to Smullyan's book, Some Interesting Memories. A Paradoxical Life, Marvin Minsky has proclaimed that Smullyan has decided to become a child prodigy at age of 35 years (when Smullyan has published his first mathematical article). I find this statement very characteristic of Smullyan, so it would be worth a quote. Could someone look the statement up in the original of that book and add it to the page?

unsourced quote

"If the more sophisticated reader objects to this statement on the grounds of its being a mere tautology, then please at least give the statement credit for not being inconsistent." is given as a Raymond Smullyan quote in Rationality from AI to Zombies, but I have been unable to find the source.
