"I knew I was alone in a way that no earthling has ever been before."

"A nugget of wisdom is more valuable than a nugget of gold—and considerably harder to pan out of a river. I’ll be 33 in March, and all I’ve found so far is fool’s gold. Still, I was able to trade it for political favors."

How did you think I did this if I was a fool with cow eyes for any handsome man with gold in his purse?"
