“Then forty-five, Kissinger personified human complexity–his characteristics ranging from brilliance and wit to sensitivity, melancholy, abrasiveness, and savagery. As he adapted to Nixon’s court, with its arcane and unsavory intrigues, he was also to acquire a talent for duplicity. He was not, as he liked to pretend, the innocent scholar fallen among fierce competitors for influence; he had flourished in an academic jungle at least as hostile as the upper echelons of government. For he was driven by inexhaustible, almost primeval ambition. ‘What interests me,’ he confessed to journalist Oriana Fallaci, ‘is what you can do with power.’”
–From Stanley Karnow’s Vietnam: A History (1983).
