During the 1950s, Aristotle Onassis and I formed what grew to be a close friendship and association in several business ventures.
I continued with whatever 'qualified climbers' I could con into this rather unpromising venture.
To be longing for this thing to-day and for that thing to-morrow; to change likings for loathings, and to stand wishing and hankering at a venture--how is it possible for any man to be at rest in this fluctuant, wandering humor and opinion?
When we venture beyond the edge of our knowledge, all we have is art.
