"Goodbye, Father. I'll speak for you.
I speak for all mediocrities in the world.
I am their champion.
I am their patron saint.
On their behalf I deny Him, your God of no mercy.
Your God who tortures men with longings they can never fulfill.
He may forgive me: I shall never forgive Him.
Mediocrities everywhere, now and to come:
I absolve you all!"
(Peter Shaffer, Amadeus)
