As Aristotle said, 'Excellence is a habit.' I would say furthermore that excellence is made constant through the feeling that comes right after one has completed a work which he himself finds undeniably awe-inspiring. He only wants to relax until he's ready to renew such a feeling all over again because to him, all else has become absolutely trivial.

Turn to the wind, I dare youFor time is but a space that is capturedLive in fear or peace, which will you?For none shall stand at easeIn fickleness of all human natureYou will fear while in peace and complain while in fear.
