“I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light—truth, understanding, knowledge—is there, and it will only shine in many dark places if I reflect it. “I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know.

Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life.”
