I believe very deeply in the human spirit and I have a sense of awe about it because I don't know how people carry on. What makes the difference in people? What is it? I've known people that the world has thrown everything at to discourage them, to kill them, to break their spirit. And yet something about them retains a dignity. They face life and don't ask quarters.
