It's amazing how some things that you read even in one of those very matter-of-fact moods can leave you with some food for thought....
This one's out of Dune...Yeppers, am on the sci-fi trip again and boy! does this kick ass or what! I am kicking myself for missing out on reading the series at Pilani...but hey, it's not all over until...errr...the fat boss makes my life a lot more miserable than it already is...
" Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part on the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him. And he must have a strong sense of the sardonic. This is what uncouples him from belief in his own pretensions. The sardonic is all that permits him to move within himself. Without this quality even occasional greatness will destroy a man. "
