They see abysses, they do not see sublimity; they see the monster, they do not see the prodigy.

Great events can only be seen by people who are on a level with them. We think we can have our visions for nothing. We cannot. Even the finest and most self-sacrificing visions have to paid for. Strangely enough, that is what makes them fine.
