I know others may disagree because he's made such an impact on so many people that response to work becomes very personal, so people will have different points of view.

Christopher MeledandriMy grandmother stepped back into the kitchen to get their drinks. I had come to love her more after death than I ever had on Earth. I wish I could say that in that moment in the kitchen she decided to quit drinking, but I now saw that drinking was a part of what made her who she was. If the worst of what she left on Earth was a legacy of inebriated support, it was a good legacy in my book. ~Susie's grandmother, Lynn pgs 315-316
Alice SeboldI would love to leave my children and grandchildren a nicer world than the one I am going to leave them.

A generation later, it was the daughters of wartime women workers who completed their mothers' campaign for equal pay.

Daniel Simon[My mom] has a few choice words to calm me down. I think it's beautiful that I sometimes, weirdly, see myself in a photo and I'm like 'Omg, that looks like my mom.' It freaks me out and all that stuff, but it's also just a part of my legacy.

I feel like if I didn't know that people had been in Montgomery sixty years ago trying to do similar things that I'm trying to do, with a lot less, with fewer resources, with less security, with less encouragement, with less opportunity - if I didn't know that, then I think doing what I do would be much, much harder.

All are plausible, and none necessarily contradicts the others.
