The main thing was an aroma of sweetness that he had, a personal selfless
sweetness like total devotion. And that was what always conquered me,
whatever intellectual questions or doubts I had, or even cynical views of
ego. In his presence there was a kind of personal charm, coming from
dedication, that conquered all our conflicts. Even though I didn't agree
with him, I always liked to be with him.
