We never know how high we are
Till we are asked to rise
And then if we are true to plan
Our statures touch the skies
The Heroism we recite
Would be a normal thing
Did not ourselves the Cubits warp
For fear to be a King
By Emily Dickinson
"Nothing is so powerful as an insight into human nature... what compulsions drive a man,⋯⋯ what instincts dominate his action... if you know these things about a man you can touch him at the core of his being."
By William Bernbach
