So that morning in 1962 I told myself: Let everyone else call your idea crazy . . . just keep going. Don’t stop. Don’t even think about stopping until you get there, and don’t give much thought to where “there” is. Whatever comes, just don’t stop.
I met the towering intellectuals in books, not in classroom, which is natural.My family was into all that stuff, getting ahead through discipline, knowledge, and self-control.
