मैं यहाँ दुनिया बदलने आया हूँ, और अगर मैं ऐसा नहीं कर रहा हूँ, तो शायद अपना समय बर्बाद कर रहा हूँ
I'm here to change the world, and if I am not, I am probably wasting my time

लेकिन उन्होंने वे असाधारण ज़िंदगी जी जो दोबारा कभी नहीं जी जा सकती। और उस ज़िंदगी को जी कर, उन्होंने मुझे एक ऐसा इतिहास दिया है जो आज तक की मेरी पढ़ी हुई किसी भी बेहतरीन इतिहास की किताब से कहीं अधिक गहरा, सुंदर, शक्तिशाली, जोशीला और आखिरकार ज़्यादा उपयोगी है
But they lived those extraordinary lives that can never be lived again. And in the living of them, they gave me a history that is more profound, more beautiful, more powerful, more passionate, and ultimately more useful, than the best damn history book I ever read
