"It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and
goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person
you talk to may, one day, be a creature which, if you saw it now, you
would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption
such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare...
It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with
the awe and circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all
our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all
politics.
There are no ordinary people.
You have never talked to a mere mortal."
~C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
