Ours, my boy is a high and lonely destiny.

Summary

This quote suggests that our destiny or purpose in life is one that is distinguished and often solitary. It implies that fulfilling our true potential may lead us to a path that only a few can navigate, either due to the level of commitment required or the uniqueness of our aspirations. The phrase "high and lonely" indicates that this destiny might be challenging and isolating, but it also highlights the significance and elevated nature of such a journey. It reminds us that pursuing our true calling may require sacrifice but can lead to a fulfillment beyond ordinary attainments.
