Famous quotes containing the word hero:

    The ordinary man is as courageous and invulnerable as a hero when he does not recognize any danger, when he has no eyes to see it. Conversely, the hero’s only vulnerable spot is on his back, and so exactly where he has no eyes.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
