James Salter Quote
Greatness is something which can be regarded in a number of ways, he said. It is, of course, the apotheosis, man raised to his highest powers, but it also can be, in a way, like insanity, a certain kind of imbalance, a flaw, in most cases a beneficial flaw, an anomaly, an accident. Well, many great men are eccentric, Viri said, even narrow. Not necessarily narrow so much as impatient, intense.
