I have to be self-conscious of what I'm trying to do with my life.
Indifference, to me, is the epitome of evil.
And to write is to sow and to reap at the same time.
The knowledge that I have acquired must not remain imprisoned in my brain. I owe it to many men and women to do something with it. I feel the need to pay back what was given to me. Call it gratitude.
I have a tremendous respect for Professor [Frank Moore] Cross.
Naturally, the human being wants to forget pain.
