"Seeking is all very well, but holding requires greater talent: Seeking involves some luck; now the demand is for skill."

The most radical division that it is possible to make of humanity is that which splits it into two classes of creatures: Those who make great demands on themselves, piling up difficulties and duties; and those who demand nothing special of themselves, but for whom to live is to be every moment what they already are, without imposing on themselves any effort towards perfection, mere buoys that float on the waves.

— Jose Ortega y Gasset
