8. Great quote. I've got another

"I believe in aristocracy, though- if that is the right word, and if a democrat may use it. Not an aristocracy of power, based upon rank and influence, but an aristocracy of the sensitive, the considerate and the plucky. Its members are to found in all nations and classes, and all through the ages. They represent the true human tradition, the one permanent victory of our race over cruelty and chaos. Thousands of them perish in obscurity, a few are great names. "

E.M. Forester
