frindley commented on the word patron saint of mediocrities
"And when you feel the dreadful bite your failures – and hear the taunting of unachievable, uncaring God – I will whisper my name to you: 'Salieri: Patron Saint of Mediocrities!' And in the depth of your downcastness you can pray to me. And I will forgive you. Vi saluto."
and the final line: "Mediocrities everywhere – now and to come – I absolve you all. Amen!"
–Salieri (Amadeus, Peter Shaffer)
