I leave shreds of my soul on every experience.
Oriana FallaciRead
Glory is a heavy burden, a murdering poison, and to bear it is an art. And to have that art is rare.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Glory can bring immense pressure and harm, and mastering how to handle it is a unique skill.
The quote by Oriana Fallaci highlights the paradox of glory; while it is often sought after and revered, it can be overwhelming and detrimental to those who achieve it. The ability to navigate the complexities and responsibilities that come with glory is an art form in itself, suggesting that not everyone possesses the necessary strength or skill to carry such a burden gracefully.

They reject the hope that its hunger will be satisfied, its cold warmed, that loyalty and respect will accompany it through life, that it will be a devote a life to the effort to eliminate war and disease.

In my opinion, I've had the greatest job in the world. I got a chance to be the shortstop for the New York Yankees, and there's only one of those.
