“I still think about that glass of water, about the instinct to give it, about the fact that I did not hesitate.

I don’t know what it means, fully. I’m not sure it resolves into something clean or instructive. But I know this: That moment belongs to my humanity, not to his violence.”

“What has also so impressed me about Ted Turner is his commitment to help people in need and to make the world a better place. I believe he felt that creating CNN was part of that mission. When I first met him, I knew he was very wealthy. I knew he could do a lot of things with all that money. But over the years, he truly inspired me by his willingness to devote so much of his time and so much of his money to really important causes—whether to the environment or to health care or to promoting democratic values around the world. What he did was often for future generations, not just for today or tomorrow, and his example had an impact on me.”
