“The dream that drives me the most is to watch a dream come to fruition in the life of another because I had the privilege of investing in the dream that drove that life.”
“I don't do anything for reward,
I do everything as a record,
a record of conviction -
a record of resilience -
a record of thunder -
a record of sentience.

of what is possible if you put
your petty tribalisms aside.
I leave this repository
in your capable hands -
draw from it as you will -
put it to use as you deem fit.”
