"The fact is prosperity has a purpose. It's to allow us to pursue "the better angels," to give us time to think and grow."

I don't want to be considered a hero.... Imagine young people would grow up with the feeling that you have to be a hero to do your human duty. I am afraid nobody would ever help other people, because who is a hero? I was not. I was just an ordinary housewife and secretary.
