“We dared the impossible, did the undoable, bore the unbearable, not merely once but over and over again. I don’t believe in fate or inevitable destinies, as I keep telling folks. But I do believe in a certain kind of inevitability. When you plant a potato, you get a potato. When you plant a rose, you get a rose. There is a pattern already in the seed, and it will unfold according to its nature.”
