Fred Rogers：
- Lloyd Vogel: You don't consider yourself famous?
- Fred Rogers: "Fame" is a four-letter word, like "tape" or "zoom" or "face." What ultimately matters is what we do with it.
I hope you know that you made today a very special day by just your being you. There's no one in the whole world like you, and I like you just the way you are.
I don't think anybody can grow unless he really is accepted exactly as he is. If somebody is always saying to a child, "Oh, you're... You're going to grow up and you're... You're going to be fine." And so a child is appreciated for what he will be and not for what he is.
Death is something many of us are uncomfortable speaking about. But to die is to be human. And anything human is mentionable. Anything mentionable is manageable.
- I've never met anyone like youin my entire life.
- Broken people.
- I don't think you are broken. I know you are a man of conviction. A person who knows the difference between what is wrong and what is right.Try to remember that your relationship with your father...also helped to shape those parts. He helped you become what you are.
Lloyd Vogel：
Why do we write for magazines for a living? Honestly, because doing anything else doesn't seem quite like living at all. We get a front-row seat to history. We get to expose the truth that others cannot see. And sometimes, just sometimes, we get to change a broken world with our words.
