Index Entry
"So I said to myself, ‘If this gets anywhere it’s going to take 50 years and unless you’re willing to spend 50 years, don’t touch it. Because it’s too important. It’s too big and right. Don’t flub this one, or you’ll discourage a lot of others coming along.’
"I said to myself, ‘What can I do to help my fellow man without trespassing on him?’
"Let’s say you’re looking at me. But I can see behind you. And a rock is tumbling downhill and it’s going to hit you in the head. Let’s say I divert it. You’d have been killed if I hadn’t. You didn’t even know you were going to be killed. You might say, ‘Why did you do that? I wanted to die.’ Well, I would say, ‘Then jump out that window over there. There are many ways for you to die if that’s what you really want.’ But I want you to have the option of saying whether you want to die.’
