"A writer arrived at the monastery to write a book about the Master. 'People say you are a genius,' he asked. 'Are you?'

"'You might say so,' said the Master, none too modestly.

"'And what makes one a genius?'

"'The ability to recognize.'

"'Recognize what?'

"'To recognize the butterfly in a caterpillar; the eagle in an egg; the saint in a selfish human being,' said the Master." - Anthony de Mello, S.J.
