Это безусловное клише, но любой талант требует еще многих сопутствующих качеств, самое главное из которых, как ни парадоксально, это уверенность, что он существует. Только она может провести через соблазны прагматического быта, которые упрашивают, молят не рисковать, не пробовать.

I remember in 1978 meeting two Ugandan captains in the hotel talking Russian. They had been educated in Moscow and since they came from different Ugandan peoples, it was the only way they could understand one another. ↗
