There, as a fugitive, he began to rethink his political role: "I was far enough away from the movement to reflect on my own actions without interruption. Nobody was there to remind me whom I could talk to and whom I couldn't. I drew on liberal ideas and conservative ideas and found that I didn't know everything. I had been wasting all of my energy figuring out how to destroy, when I could...
