What is a good word to mean uncommonness?

I have a sentence that currently reads: All I want is to be extraordinary. We want to be extraordinary. We want to be heroic. We want to be heroic. We want to be extraordinary. “There’s

nothing wrong with that. If you look up the “Was there a point” section? Can certainly live with it.. What I want is a sentence in the form “All they want is extraordinariness. That is. You are speaking one sentence at a time. (By the way, I am giving my example without taking example),” What

is the word that describes that in English? My vocabulary doesn’t usually fail me so spectacularly.

In case it helps anyone, I’m writing an essay about the inevitable choice between dual mediocrities which characterises the identity of east German youth in Sonnenallee.

….I’ll be doing it in German. I don’t know anything in german about English translation except that somebody else has mentioned it before, so I’d be happy to learn of it. 🙂

What is that word greatness?

Shakespeare derived a quote from “Be not afraid of greatness” in his essay. This quote

is not surprising. But what is the meaning?

Would you try exceptionality, but that sounds odd sounding, not very common, and in my opinion nowhere near as great as greatness.
