Kenneth Miller: Mike Schroeder

Quotes 

• David Koresh : This morning, I woke up with this funny feeling right here in my gut. And it took me some time to put a name on that sucker; I thought I ate something bad, but that wasn't it. Then I realized what it was. Joy. But how could that be out here in the middle of nowhere? No running water, no stuff. In this rickety old house, out here in the middle of the Texas plains? Joy? See, I don't know about you, but I wasn't raised out of joy. I didn't have much joy growing up. But now, after all this time... how is it a man can find joy here? Wayne. You got your law degree from Harvard. Was that enough for you, Wayne?

  Wayne Martin : Nope.

  David Koresh : No. Mike. You ran your own pool company. Was that enough?

  Mike Schroeder : Sure wasn't.

  David Koresh : "Sure wasn't." Steve. Professor of theology. Amazing. You lived with your wife Judy in paradise on the beach in Hawaii. Enough?

  Steve Schneider : Not even close.

  David Koresh : "Not even close"! See, that's the big trick. It's never enough, no matter what you do. So how is it a man can find joy here? I'll tell you. Joy doesn't come from having something, or being something. It comes from becoming. Becoming more than you are today.
