Delight in them sets off. Some kinds of baseness
Are nobly undergone, and most poor matters
Point to rich ends.”

“It was so hard to pry this door open, and if I mess up I know the people behind me are going to have it that much harder. Because then there’s living proof. They can sit around and say, “See? It doesn’t work.” I don’t want to be their living proof.”
