Mere Mortal

"It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible Gods and Goddesses. To remember that the 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.

All day long we are in some degree, helping each other to one or another of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with 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 (not a Mormon)
