If money, education, and honesty will not bring to me as much privilege, as much equality as they bring to any American citizen, then they are to me a curse, and not a blessing.

I grew up thinking that you were supposed to read and write all your waking hours.

We have sat on the river bank and caught catfish with pin hooks. The time has come to harpoon a whale.

Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.

I believe you'll see a low Earth orbit space travel business begin.

If you read a story with an 'I' or a 'he' or a 'she,' you're in familiar territory - but 'we' is mostly unexplored. I think of 'we' as an adventure.

I love to not work. I like to travel. I work maybe half the year, no more.
