Most of us will never leave our hometown or country, let alone conquer Everest. And you know what? That’s okay. Because real life is what happens in between moments of greatness. It’s the little things that at the end of

Anyone who makes a virtue - a highly intellectual virtue - out of what they know to be their sin, their weakness and their guilt... They envy achievement, and their dream of greatness is a world where all men have become their ackn

They don't know that that dream is the infallible proof of mediocrity, because that sort of world is what the man of achievement

Susan Sontag - The Volcano Lover: A Romance
We like to stress the commonness of heroes. Essences seem undemocratic. We feel oppressed by the call to greatness. We regard an interest in glory or perfection as a sign of mental unhealthiness, and have decided that high achievers, who are called overachievers, owe their surplus ambition to a defect in mothering (either too little or too much). We want to admire but think we have a right not to be intimidated. We dislike feeling inferior to an ideal. So away with ideals, with essences. The onl

Karl Menninger -
The adjuration to be "normal" seems shockingly repellent to me; I see neither hope nor comfort in sinking to that low level.

For surely anyone who achieves anything is, a priori, abnormal.
