If you will have a person enslaved, the first thing you must do is convince yourself that the person is subhuman. The second thing you have to do is convince your allies so you'll have some help, and the third and probably unkindest cut of all is to convince that person that he or she is subhuman and deserves it.

I encourage you to live with life. Be courageous, adventurous. Give us a tomorrow, more than we deserve.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.
