“Remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you  talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption   such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare….  There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.   Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations-these are mortal, and  their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom  we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit-immortal horrors   or everlasting splendors.”

-C. S. Lewis
