When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.
What we have to do is to be forever curiously testing new opinions and courting new impressions.
Every time I read to her, it was like I was courting her, because sometimes, just sometimes, she would fall in love with me again, just like she had a long time ago. And that's the most wonderful feeling in the world. How many people are ever given that chance? To have someone you love fall in love with you over and over?
The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without 'playing up' to anyone - even to himself.
