Quote from Tolstoy

[oprokop at TEMPLE.EDU]

   It could be reference to Tolstoy's 1868 notes on 
  War and Peace:
  "Для историка, в смысле
  содействия, оказанного
  лицом
  какой-нибудь одной цели,
  есть герои ; для художника, в
  смысле
  соответственности этого
  лица всем сторонам жизни, не
  может и
  не должно быть героев , а
  должны быть люди ."
