“I don't really care if people forget me. My legacy wasn't about me. It was about everything I could do for another. When that sinks in...well you try a little harder. You dream a little broader. Your heart stretches a little farther and you find that you can't go back to the same place and make it fit. You become a person of ideas and seek out your own kind.

going to know that you or I ever lived. The cynic is

If I accomplish nothing more than making my arm sore, at least I will be satisfied that I have lived.”
