The Patron Saint of Mediocrities Everywhere
Mozart: [about the royal composer's position he did not get] Whom did they choose?
Salieri: Herr Zummer.
Mozart: Herr Zummer? But the man's a fool, he's a total mediocrity!
Salieri: No, no, he has yet to achieve mediocrity. ...
Your... merciful God. He destroyed His own beloved [Mozart], rather than let a mediocrity share in the smallest part of His glory.
I will speak for you, Father. I speak for all mediocrities in the world. I am their champion. I am their patron saint.
Mediocrities everywhere... I absolve you... I absolve you... I absolve you... I absolve you... I absolve you all.
