“Every life is organized around a small number of events that either propel us or bring us to a grinding halt. We spend the years between these episodes benefiting or suffering from their consequences until the arrival of the next forceful moment.

But he ought to be the main actor in the decisive scenes in his existence, whether they be epic or tragic.”
