Ursula K. Le Guin said this quote

“ But if modesty is interpreted not as diffidence or self-effacingness, but as non-overweening, a realistic assessment of the job to be done and one's ability to do it, then you might say the chief virtue of excellent artists is their modesty...But knowing your limits and going to them isn't arrogance. It's greatness of spirit. ”

~ Ursula K. Le Guin

To oppose something is to maintain it... You must go somewhere else, you must have another goal, then you walk a different road.
