“Democracy is...the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people.”
“Ordinary people believe only in the possible. Extraordinary people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the impossible, they begin to see it as possible”
“Great men and women are not extraordinary people who do extraordinary things. They are ordinary people who do ordinary things with integrity.”
“Literature is the art of discovering something extraordinary about ordinary people, and saying with ordinary words something extraordinary.”
“People don't follow ordinary people; they follow extraordinary people.”
“Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary.”
