Ken Venturi on Fate

Ken Venturi said in a 2011 interview: “One of the great lines talking about my peaks and valleys … I was introduced at the Waldorf-Astoria by Jack Whittaker. Talking about my life, he said, 'Fate has a way of bending the twig and fashioning a man to his better instincts.' If one thing didn’t happen, another thing couldn’t happen. I wouldn’t trade my life for anything in the world. The people I’ve known, where I’ve gone. You could give me $100 million but you can’t have the friends you’ve known. The only thing I think about, I wonder what I could have really done if I hadn’t lost the use of my hands.”
