11. What I call a hero is not a person who dominates with ideas or strength; it is a person who is great by his soul. As the greatest of them all, the man whose career we are about to narrate, said: "I recognize no mark of superiority except kindness." There is no great man without a great personality, There are not even great artists, there are no great actors; there are just empty idols, matching the despicable masses; time will destroy them all. What does success or failure matter? The main thing is to be great, not to appear great.

—— Romain Rolland
