“Sometimes you're the protagonist, and someone else is the hero.”

“He was convinced that Valuska's cosmos had no relation whatsoever to the real one; it was, he thought, an image, something remembered from childhood perhaps, only an image, of some once-glimpsed universal order, an order that had become a personal domain, clearly a luminous landscape that could never be lost, a pure religion which assumed that there was or might once have been a heavenly mechanism 'driven be some hidden motor of enchantment and innocent dreaming'. While the local community, 'given its natural inclination', regarded Valuska as no more than an idiot, he, for his part, was in no doubt (though he only became aware of this once Valuska took on the role of his personal meal-provider and general help) that this apparently crazy wanderer on the highways of his own transparent galaxy, with his incorruptibility and universal, if embarrassing, generosity of spirit, was indeed 'proof that, despite the highly corrosive forces of decadence in the present age, angels nevertheless did exist'.”
