“I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men.”
“For although nepenthe has calmed me, I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men. This I have known ever since I stretched out my fingers to the abomination within that great gilded frame; stretched out my fingers and touched a cold and unyielding surface of polished glass.”
“I cannot perch among those who think that I am broken.”
“I am not among those who fear the people. They, and not the rich, are our dependence for continued freedom.”
“I am always amazed by people who know something is wrong but still insist on ignoring it, as if that will somehow make it goaway.”
“My airplane is quiet, and for a moment still an alien, still a stranger to the ground, I am home.”
