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.
Jay Alan Sekulow

Part of my strength as an actor comes from what I've learned all these years: when you play a villain, you try to get the light touches; when you play a hero, you try to get in some of the warts.
John Forsythe

People fantasize about being a hero and helping someone in trouble. Batman is that fantasy realized-not just for Bruce Wayne, but for the audience. Inwardly, Bruce Wayne is still an adolescent watching his parents being murdered. That will never leave him. And people really relate to that.
Kevin Conroy

Perfectionism becomes a badge of honor with you playing the part of the suffering hero.
David D. Burns

Probably we'll think of Bush in years to come as an American hero.
Tommy Franks

Ruby inherited the Perl philosophy of having more than one way to do the same thing. I inherited that philosophy from Larry Wall, who is my hero actually. I want to make Ruby users free. I want to give them the freedom to choose.
Yukihiro Matsumoto

See, heroes never die. John Wayne isn't dead, Elvis isn't dead. Otherwise you don't have a hero. You can't kill a hero. That's why I never let him get older.
Mickey Spillane

She was in a difficult position being the widow of a great American hero, a role that carried high expectations but she did a credible job of continuing Dr King's dream especially in the face of a changing and often hostile American public.
Morris Dees

Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

So, it's cool that, yes, Hal Jordan is a superhero, but my character is a real-world hero in her own life.
Blake Lively

Sometimes in movies, I still have to be the hero, but it's not all that important to me anymore.
Dennis Quaid

That was one of the things that interested me about the character. He doesn't want to be a hero, and has no real desire to save the earth or discover aliens. He's sniffing around looking to see what will fall in his lap.
Orlando Jones

The destroyer Cork, like the useful hero for whom it is named, will be game to the last.
Josephus Daniels

The difference between a hero and a coward is one step sideways.
Gene Hackman

The dynamic is extremely similar to Gremlins and the hero is very similar, plus the small town atmosphere. It really is in a way the third Gremlins movie.
Joe Dante

The essence of a tragedy, or even of a serious play, is the spiritual awakening, or regeneration, of the hero.
Maxwell Anderson

The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by.
Felix Adler

The hero of the book does long to experience God. But his conception of God is very western.
Orhan Pamuk
