My father was my main influence. He was a preacher, but he was also a history and political science teacher, and since he was my hero, I wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a teacher.
David Soul

My father was very intense, passionate and over-the-top. He was my hero and my tyrant.
June Jordan

My feeling is that the hero has now been defined by phrases like the odious one that we were all raised with - crimes does not pay. Of course it pays, you schmuck. That's not why we don't do it. We don't do it because it is wrong.
Frank Miller

My friends and I took songwriting very, very seriously. My hero was and still is Bob Dylan, but also people like Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell and that whole generation.
Kazuo Ishiguro

My hero wants to belong too, but he doesn't want to give up all the things he came to value in the west.
Orhan Pamuk

My hero's, my dreams, and my future lie in Yankee Stadium and they can't take that from me.
Derek Jeter

My one ambition is to play a hero.
Sessue Hayakawa

My uncle was a hero, Lewis Roundtree. He was not even related to me really, but he was always called my uncle. He was like a father to me. I was closer to him than I was my father.
Ed Bradley

Nature abhors a hero. For one thing, he violates the law of conservation of energy. For another, how can it be the survival of the fittest when the fittest keeps putting himself in situations where he is most likely to be creamed?
Solomon Short

No hero is mortal till he dies.
W. H. Auden

No man is a hero in his own country.
John Monash

No phallic hero, no matter what he does to himself or to another to prove his courage, ever matches the solitary, existential courage of the woman who gives birth.
Andrea Dworkin

Nothing is given to man on earth - struggle is built into the nature of life, and conflict is possible - the hero is the man who lets no obstacle prevent him from pursuing the values he has chosen.
Andrew Bernstein

One blob of red in the wrong place and the audience isn't looking at the hero, they're looking at a patch of curtain (or something similar) and your whole effect is lost.
Terence Fisher

One brave deed makes no hero.
John Greenleaf Whittier

One minute you're a slug and the next minute you're a hero, so you don't know what to think.
Ed Belfour

One murder made a villain, Millions a hero.
Beilby Porteus

One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being.
May Sarton

One night I went to see Bobby at the Flamingo. Because he was my hero, I would visit him for inspiration.
Wayne Newton

Our enemies, like the Grecian hero, have one vulnerable point. You have not touched it yet. What should have been their element of weakness has been suffered to remain an element of strength.
