If I can keep Taggart Transcontinental in existence, it's the only
benefit I want. What do I care if they make me pay ransoms? Let
them have what they want. I'll have the railroad."
He smiled. "Do you think so? Do you think that their need of you

war between your mind and your body, no gulf between your values
and your actions, no tributes to Caesar. He permits no Caesars."

inconceivable that there might come a day when I would have to beg
your forgiveness on my knees. Now I think it's possible. If I come to
see that you're right, I will. But not until then."
"You will. But not on your knees."
