“When I left the Senate in 1979, there were several publishers who had approached me about writing an autobiography, and I knew that politicians write books for many reasons, but at that time, I just thought I wasn't ready and my story wasn't over, and I knew I had a new life ahead of me.”

“I never studied much at Howard, but at Boston University, I didn't do much else but study.”

“I think things are chosen for us, we already have our paths.”

“I was called a 'CD' by a suicidal teenager, who is alive today because I became her 'Chosen Dad,' who loved her. We all have the potential to re-parent ourselves and others.”

“When you have a fruitful relationship with someone, and you've both chosen to work together, then it can spawn really good things.”
