Lord Jim

"For a butterfly, it is enough to be beautiful, and to live. But for man it is different, if he is sensitive. Every time he shuts his eyes, he sees himself as a hero, as a perfect man. Its all a dream- he can never be as fine as that. And so it is painful when he opens his eyes, to find he cannot make his dream come true. It is terrible for him. But you ask me- how to live? There is only one way. Follow the dream, and again, follow the dream, and so-to the end."
Joseph Conrad
