Quotes (3)
"Being a cult figure in one's own lifetime, I am afraid is not at all pleasant. In my case at any rate it makes me feel extremely small and inadequate."
"All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost."
"Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends."
