Politics has always been ugly to me, and yet I accept that as a fact of life.

All my life I've been taught how to die, but no one ever taught me how to grow old.

The Information Highway intrigues me because I have always been a newshound; I have always been curious about why people believe what they believe.

Growing old has been the greatest surprise of my life.

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.'

I don't need a successor, only willing hands to accept the torch for a new generation.
