"My sense of humor will always stand in the way of my seeing myself, my family, my race or my nation as the whole intent of the universe."

Previous Quote

Even as a very young man, I knew that my family is like a plant. Uproot it, and it will wilt. Pluck away at it, and it will die. But leave it to thrive in the soil, untouched, and it will weather both gods and winds. It is born with the soil, and it will live so long as the soil shall live.
