If I had the hand strength to sign autographs for everybody in Kansas City, I would... but its just impossible to get to everyone.
If I could write a story that would do for the Indian one-hundredth part what 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' did for the Negro, I would be thankful the rest of my life.
You cheat yourself when you don't do what it is you're supposed to do. You have an obligation to learn everything that you can.
