“It's hard to believe a spirit could die
Of such generous glow”

“I could die in peace, I think, if the world was beautiful. To know it's being ruined is hard.”

“The human spirit glows from that small inner light of doubt whether we are right, while those who believe with certainty that they possess the right are dark inside and darken the world outside with cruelty, pain, and injustice.”

“Apple has some tremendous assets, but I believe without some attention, the company could, could, could — I'm searching for the right word — could, could die.”

“the meaning of kindness is hard to define, words you believe to be nice could be hurt to others”

“Starlight and comet tails burned the tips of endless grass below into hammered silver. Like thousands of tapers in the chapel, just blown out but still glowing.
If one could drown in the grass… it might be the best way to die.”

“Hard work never killed a man. Men die of boredom, psychological conflict, and disease. They do not die of hard work.”

“We are all worms. But I do believe I am a glow-worm.”

“What kind of story am I going to give them next? Because that's what we are to other people, boy, we are their gossip. That's all civilization is, a giant mill grinding out gossip. And so I could be the story of the man who rode high and fell hard, and had his spirit broken and crawled off into a hole like a dog, to die as soon as he could manage it. Or I could be the story of a man who rode high and fell hard, and then got up defiant, and walked away in a new direction.”

“To work hard, to live hard, to die hard, and then go to hell after all would be too damn hard.”
