“I am but one more drop in the great sea of matter, defined, with the ability to realize my existence.”

“And, I think: I am but one more drop in the great sea of matter, defined, with the ability to realize my existence. Of the millions, I, too, was potentially everything at birth. I, too, was stunted, narrowed, warped, by my environment, my outcroppings of heredity. I, too, will find a set of beliefs, of standards to live by, yet the very satisfaction of finding them will be marred by the fact that I have reached the ultimate in shallow, two-dimensional living — a set of values.”

“I thought it was who I was with or where I was that defined me in some way. I realize now that I decide who I am, no matter the company I keep or the place I am.”

“I'll tell you what I think defines greatness. The ability and willingness to perform in extraordinary ways.”

“There is far more spiritual potential within than most people realize. The potential is so great that to define it in words would be impossible.”

“The fate of this man or that man was less than a drop, although it was a sparkling one, in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea.”
