“Mere words cannot defeat a true hero. Unless they happen to be the words to some sort of Instant Death Spell. Magic is scary.”
Christopher Healy, The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle“The hero, the waker of his own soul, is himself but the convenient means of his own dissolution.”
Joseph Campbell, The Hero With a Thousand Faces“No man is a hero to his valet. This is not because the hero is not a hero, but because the valet is a valet.”
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel“Would you believe in a story without the heroes? There are stories without heroes.”
Pushpa Rana, Just the Way I Feel“Look,” Liam said, “sometimes being a hero isn’t about getting the glory. It’s about doing what needs to be done.”
Christopher Healy, The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom“The hero, it might be said, is called into being when perception of a need an the recognition of responsibility toward it are backed up by the will to act.”
Mike Alsford, Heroes and Villains“Myths of the heroes speak most eloquently of man's quest to choose life over death.”
Dorothy Norman, The Hero: Myth/Image/Symbol“People love super heroes. It's true we're impressed by their bravery and fortitude, their supernatural gifts and physical brawn. But the fact is, villains possess these same qualities. So why our admiration for the hero and not the nemesis? Because of virtue. A super hero gives everything to defend what's good and right without seeking praise or reward. Think about it. All the great heroes give without taking, help without grumbling, sacrifice without asking recompense. A super hero's real strength, what we absolutely fall in love with, is his finer virtue.”
Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway“Go ahead, scoff, he said, petulant. Except in the life of a hero, the whole world's meaningless. The hero sees values beyond what's possible. That's the nature of a hero. It kills him, of course, ultimately. But it makes the whole struggle of humanity worthwhile.”
John Gardner, Grendel
