Context

“«Well,» Burne said suddenly, after a few moments' silence, «we're half-way through, let's turn back.»
On the return he launched into a discussion of will.
«It's the whole thing,» he asserted. «It's the one dividing line between good and evil. I've never met a man who led a rotten life and didn't have a weak will.»
«How about great criminals?»
«They're usually insane. If not, they're weak. There is no such thing as a strong, sane criminal.»
«Burne, I disagree with you altogether; how about the superman?»” source
