“I want to change the world. I want to change the world the way William Shakespeare changed the world, the way Norman Borlaug changed the world; the way Isaac Newton and Leonardo da Vinci and Albert Einstein and Martin Luther King and Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln changed the world; the way Galileo Galilei and Thomas Jefferson and Blaise Pascal and Ludwig Wittgenstein and Benjamin Franklin and Mohandas Gandhi changed the world. I want to be a polymath. A historian, a writer, a linguist, an etymologist, a philologist, a political scientist and theorist, a philosopher, a psychologist, a sociologist, a lawyer, an anthropologist, an archaeologist, an explorer, a geographer, a geologist, a statesman, a musician, an inventor, an economist. And I’m going to do all of it.”
