I get heartfelt thanks from all kinds of people. Today I heard from a waitress in Georgia who has lost her job and is trying to figure out how her local bank can change the terms on her credit card, and I heard from a physicist at a major research university who wants to explain a better theory of financial stress tests.

Albert Camus

Man was predestined to have free will.

Hal Luyah

You have to first be a writer and somebody who loves to write. If I couldn't travel, I would still write.

Tim Cahill

We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.

Martin Luther King Jr.
