He said: "Burn the paper! Burn all of the paper! Let there be not a trace of us left behind. Let us abandon what we've done up 'til now. We need to stop where we are. We need to take a long, hard look at what we've done. Then, we need to start over. We need to apply what we've learned from this. We need to remove ourselves from our history in order to be reborn and to get it right this time. Burn the paper, but save the books. The books will be what will guide us. The paper is only a record of our misunderstandings, or forgetfulness, our pain and our stupidity. We could have done better. We know this now. We could have done better but we were too lazy. We were too engaged in our own song. We simply didn't listen to the other songs. We didn't even try to fix it when it broke down. We just plowed ahead as usual. And, that was our mistake. That's what brought the house of cards down. That's why we need to start again. We need to plan how to do it right this time. We need to burn all of the paper. Every last sheet of the paper needs to go, so we can start fresh; so we can get it right this time."
