A Kite Quote

A lovely quote from Romain Gary's book Les Cerfs-Volants (The Kites):

It's perfectly clear that a man that has devoted his whole life to kites is not without a grain of folly. It's just a question of interpretation. There are some who call it a 'grain of folly', and others who talk of a 'sacred spark'. It's sometimes hard to tell one from the other.
