My Childhood, Adolescence And High School Days Are Unusually Important. If There Has Ever Been A Time That I Developed A Uniqueness And Sense Of Humor And The Ability To Organize, It Was Then. In Those Early Days, I Developed The Skills That Gave Me A Certain Degree Of Success In American Politics.
My Illness Has Taught Me Something About The Nature Of Humanity, Love, Brotherhood And Relationships That I Never Understood, And Probably Never Would Have. So, From That Standpoint, There Is Some Truth And Good In Everything.
I Don't Know Who Will Lead Us Through The '90s, But They Must Be Made To Speak To This Spiritual Vacuum At The Heart Of American Society, This Tumor Of The Soul.
Mostly I Am Sorry For The Way I Thought Of Other People. Like A Good General, I Had Treated Everyone Who Wasn't With Me As Against Me.
I Think I Learned Pretty Early That In The End, Its Only You. To An Extent, Youre All Alone.
I Acquired More Wealth, Power, And Prestige Than Most. But You Can Acquire All You Want And Still Feel Empty. It Took A Deadly Illness To Put Me Eye To Eye With That Truth, But It Is A Truth That The Country, Caught Up In Its Ruthless Ambitions And Moral Decay, Can Learn On My Dime. I Don't Know Who Will Lead Us Through The '90s, But They Must Be Made To Speak To This Spiritual Vacuum At The Heart Of American Society, This Tumor Of The Soul.
I Acquired More Wealth, Power, And Prestige Than Most. But You Can Acquire All You Want And Still Feel Empty. What Power Wouldn't I Trade For A Little More Time With My Family? What Price Wouldn't I Pay For An Evening With Friends? It Took A Deadly Illness To Put Me Eye To Eye With That Truth, But It Is A Truth That The Country, Caught Up In Its Ruthless Ambitions And Moral Decay, Can Learn On My Dime.
