In his novella, Legends of the Fall, Jim Harrison wrote,
"Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness. And they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy... or they become legend."
After contemplating the story of Robert Kearns (and my own life), I wonder how in the hell you tell the difference. Maybe, if you hear those voices clearly enough, you don't doubt. You just do.
If you go crazy, you aren't likely to realize how you got there. Come to think of it, it's probably about the same if you become legend.
