“Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happycommon clay, if you likeeating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you cant imagine dead. And then there are the othersthe noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.”
