September 11 Quotes - Page 4

• Try to remember the kind of September
  When life was slow and oh
  so mellow.
  Try to remember the kind of September
  When grass was green and grain was yellow.
  Try to remember the kind of September
  When you were a tender and callow fellow.
  Try to remember and if you remember
  then follow
  follow.

• My upbringing was pretty interesting. It was a rigorous, intellectual upbringing, but with the idea that we were a part of an important and legitimate enterprise. What that meant was sitting around the dinner table from a really early age with people from all different backgrounds who believed in God. When I was reporting in the wake of September 11th in Iraq and elsewhere, I felt I had the capacity to talk to people whose beliefs might sound outlandish to more secular journalists. I felt like I could be a translator between those two worlds.
