“He had used it as the epigram to his 1967 book 'To Seek a Newer World,' and it expressed two pillars of his faith: that everyone has a duty to alleviate suffering, and that no one can live a fully happy life while surrounded by the unaddressed misery of others.”
Thurston Clarke, The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America

“Unlike most politicians who follow their audience, (Robert) Kennedy tried to lead his.”
Thurston Clarke, The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America

“If we believe men have any personal rights at all, then they must have an absolute moral right to such a measure of good health as society can provide.”
Thurston Clarke, The Last Campaign: Robert F. Kennedy and 82 Days That Inspired America
