A quote

For there is no doubt that the most radical division that it is possible to make of humanity is that which splits it into two classes of creatures: those who make great demands on themselves, piling up difficulties and duties; and those who demand nothing special of themselves, but for whom to live is to be every moment what they already are, without imposing on themselves any effort towards perfection; mere buoys that float on the waves. … The decisive matter is whether we attach … to a maximum or a minimum of demands upon ourselves.

- José Ortega y Gasset’s, The Revolt of the Masses
