This default position of operating in the shadows is going to be somewhat appealing to whomever inherits office.”

You're going have to bring in people dedicated to transparency, and you have to demonstrate that there are rewards for candor.”

We will attain - even if only momentarily - a transparency and a radiance of being which results from living both within and beyond yourself. This is the promise and the excitement of self-understanding.”
