You Will Be Raising These Kids In Your Mind Your Whole Life. And They Will Change You. Your Little Contribution To It - Twenty Years From Now, They'll Be Marching Off Into Other Things And That's Still The Legacy You Leave.

The Responsibility For The Risks We Posed To Others In Some Of Our Most Extreme Actions In Those Underground Years Never Leaves My Thoughts For Long.
