“Paul's face grew serious. 'I think whenever a people has enormous resources, it is easy for them to call themselves democratic. I think of myself more as a physician than an American. We belong to the nation of those who care for the sick.

I have many opportunities because I'm American. I can travel freely through the world, I can start projects, but that's called privilege, not democracy.”
