Its a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest 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. All day long we are in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and circumspection proper to them that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. 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.

All day long we are in some degree helping each other to 
one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of 
these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and 
circumspection proper to them that we should conduct
all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all
loves, all play, all politics. 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.
