An ideal character is not someone who transcends or rises above these personal rhythms of interaction, but someone who learns to live within them, to make something of them.

“So is there no fact, no event, in our private history, which shall not, sooner or later, lose its adhesive, inert form, and astonish us by soaring from our body into the empyrean. Cradle and infancy, school and playground, the fear of boys, and dogs, and ferules, the love of little maids and berries, and many another fact that once filled the whole sky, are gone already; friend and relative profession and party, town and country, nation and world, must also soar and sing.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
