“I never took it upon myself to change the world. And those contemporaries of mine who were going around falling for the idea that they were going to bring down the United States government and make a new world were just asses to me. I knew by then that nobody was going to do that. And that kind of history has repeated itself. People in the late ’60s, not long ago, had those same ideas, and there hasn’t been a single dent in the forces that they were going to bring down.”
