I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.

There ain't no problem that some other dude didn't have 1,000 years ago.

I am inspired beyond my ability to articulate... and now I know what and who I want to be... a soldier for peace.
