Quotations

“I honor each one of the 3000 people that died in the Trade Center and everywhere, but if you think of all the millions of people that have died in wars elsewhere, we are still very blessed, and I don't think retaliation to Afghanistan or Iraq was the answer.” (Blackbird interview, Sept. 27, 2014; photo lanic.utexas)
