Observe the people around you-the bandleader, the bartender-what they wear, how they deal with people, the simple continuity of their presence.

Somewhere inside of you, you have to believe that.”

He wasn't going to just lecture to the people who happened to appear in his classroom in Chicago or on some lecture circuit. He went out to talk to the general public, believing that you had to convince a democratic nation to change its ways, and he succeeded to a considerable extent.”
