This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul." --

“I think people can generally trust me, but they can trust me exactly because they know they don't have to.”
“I’m increasingly attracted by the idea that there can be at least small pockets where life and character and beauty and meaning continue. If I could help protect one of those from destruction, maybe that would be enough. Maybe it would be more than most people do.”
