In my own work, which has for me the force of a vocation, to aim for other than the highest would be not only self-destructive but worse, boring. To aim for and miss the highest is only failure. Not to aim for the highest is betrayal.
From “Memoirs of a Book-Molesting Childhood” (1987).

Crackpot is a good one by Wiseman.
