We can also learn that Amy is the John Madden of the poetry thread list!
Nice play-by-play. Back to the topic at hand -- Cormac McCarthy -- love the
quote. Very apropos.

"Who is truly great? I hope you can develop the ability to discern true
human greatness. A great person is someone who forges unity among human
beings through sincere dialogue, armed with a solid philosophy, feet firmly
planted on the ground. A great person is one who lives among the people and
earns their unshakable trust. Fickle popularity and temporary fads are
nothing but illusions."
