“For the first time, I was the center of attention. Everyone watched me as if I were a bomb. Would I explode and cause a disaster or would I pop and cause a miracle?”
“There are many causes I would die for. There is not a single cause I would kill for.”
“First, a man may in some ways be superior to his fellows and still serve them, if together they serve a common cause which is greater than any one man. I believe that I serve such a cause, or I would not be doing it.”
“At that point in my life, I was not looking for a career. I viewed my first decade after college as a time to explore. I didn't want anchors to hold me down. If something caught my attention, I would try it. If not, I would move on.”
“I fear that I am losing my mind. But really, it would not be such a precious thing to lose, as it only causes me pain.”
“I would rather lose in a cause that will some day win, than win in a cause that will some day lose!”
