I don't think I had a reputation as a hard worker, but inside I was always being eaten up by the pressures.

We always take credit for the good and attribute the bad to fortune.

Since my retirement, I've spent a lot of time trying to help the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina. A society like this just can't afford an uneducated underclass of citizens.

I'm not any kind of social reformer.

I started out thinking of America as highways and state lines. As I got to know it better, I began to think of it as rivers.

And still I wander, seeking compensation in unforseen encounters and unexpected sights, in sunsets, storms and passing fancies.

You never heard anybody ask 'Elvis who?'
