“And if you decide to kill somebody,make it anybody and not somebody:some men are made of more special, precious parts:do not kill if you will a president or a King or a man behind a desk -these have heavenly longitudesenlightened attitudes.If you decide,take uswho stand and smoke and glower;we are rusty with sadnessandfeverishwith climbing broken ladders”
“The nature of the presidency is that sometimes you don't choose which challenges come to your desk. You do decide how to respond.”
“If you remembered somebody was as real as yourself, how could you kill anybody?”
“Killing one person makes you a murderer. Killing a million people makes you a king. Killing them all makes you God.”
“Every time you decide, you kill off infinite lives that could've lived.”
“The most important thing you do everyday you live is deciding not to kill yourself.”
