"As I worked on projects which fulfilled a real human need forces were working through me which amazed me. I would often go to sleep with an apparently insoluble problem.

They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society."

"The real wealth of the Nation lies in the resources of the earth soil, water, forests, minerals, and wildlife.
