I am fated to journey hand in hand with my strange heroes and to survey the surging immensity of life, to survey it through the laughter that all can see and through the tears unseen and unknown by anyone.
“Saving yourself doesn’t really mean much. I mean, it’s better than nothing for you as an individual, but in the big picture it doesn’t really mean much. So what if I’ve managed to be a refusenik all my life and do the things that I wanted to do? So what if I’ve escaped in some way personally? That doesn’t change the fact that most people still have to grow up into a culture of death, as Pope John Paul said.”
