"He thought aloud and his opinion about anything in the morning might be quite different by afternoon, so that people quoting him might make contradictory statements. There was such a power when he spoke - people seemed to believe what he said, even when he knew it wasn't their truth. He molded his hearer. They were often speechless....There was a constant grinding like the ocean. It was as if something hot, dark, and destructive was hitched to the highest, brightest star."
