Dan Simmons Quote

Arete is simply excellence and the striving for excellence in all things, said Odysseus. Arete simply means the act of offering all actions as a sort of sacrament to excellence, of devoting one’s life to finding excellence, identifying it when it offers itself, and achieving it in your own life.
