John Steinbeck

“I think there are degrees of greatness," Adam said.

"I don't think so," said Samuel. "That would be like saying there is little bigness. No. I believe when you come to that responsibility the hugeness and you are alone to make your choices. On one side you have warmth and companionship and sweet understanding, and on the other – cold, lonely greatness. There you make your choice.”

John Steinbeck, East of Eden
