On the contrary, I believe that hierarchy and painful controls create destructive people.

On the contrary, I believe a unique core self is born into every human being; the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.”

Realizing this results in true compassion. Other people and things are not seen as apart from oneself but, on the contrary, as one's own body.”

“I have always believed that most large fortunes are made by men...who tumbled into a lucky opportunity.

There is ample proof to the contrary.”
