From an interview with Brian Sibly broadcast by the bbc world service, November 1988
I think probably kindness is the number one attribute in a human being. I’ll put it before courage or bravery or genorosity or anything else.
B.S. Or brains even?
Oh gosh, yes, brains is one of the least. You can be a lovely person without brains. absolutely lovely. Kindness -that simple word. To be kind-it covers everything to my mind.
If you are kind that’s it.
