Young Man Luther II

"She quoted liberally from two books by Erik H. Erikson, Young Man Luther and Gandhi's Truth, and then, in an incredible act of generosity spurred by her recognition of me as a genius . . ., gave me her copies [which] were underlined and annotated to the point where the pages were blackened and bloodied with her thoughts."

"Oh how I let things pass in those days. I was becoming well known as a hot-head and my instinct urged me unmistakably to never let them think they understood me or could predict my behavior. It did not occur to me then that I would consequently never be trusted. No. It was far more important that I never be trapped by small obligations and petty worries."
