We are all immortals...

"Every human being is in the process of becoming a noble being; noble beyond imagination. Or else, alas, a vile being beyond redemption. The dullest and most uninteresting person you can 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... It is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit- immortal horrors or everlasting splendors." -C.S. Lewis
