“One must have heroes, which is to say, one must create them. And they become real through our envy, our devotion. It is we who give them their majesty, their power, which we ourselves could never possess. And in turn, they give some back. They do not last forever. They fade. They vanish. They are surpassed, forgotten — one hears of them no more.”
― James Salter, A Sport and a Pastime

“The children playing by the fountains will become old men, but nothing of this will have changed”
― James Salter, A Sport and a Pastime
