In the United States, to an unprecedented degree, the individual's social role has come to be determined not by who he is but by what he can accomplish.

The creative individual has the capacity to free himself from the web of social pressures in which the rest of us are caught. He is capable of questioning the assumptions that the rest of us accept.

One man interacting creatively with others can move the world.

Life is an endless process of self-discovery.

When one may pay out over two million dollars to presidential and Congressional campaigns, the U.S. government is virtually up for sale.

The creative individual is particularly gifted in seeing the gap between what is and what could be.

At home we have lost the capacity to see what is before us. Travel shakes us out of our apathy, and we regain an attentiveness that heightens every experience. The exhilaration of travel has many sources, but surely one of them is that we recapture in some measure the unspoiled awareness of children.
