Famous quotes containing the words hero and/or defeated:
“In every great novel, who is the hero all the time? Not any of the characters, but some unnamed and nameless flame behind them all.”

“Lest darkness fall and time fall
In a long night when learned arteries
Mounting the ice and sum of barbarous time
Shall yield, without essence, perfect accident.
We are the eyelids of defeated caves.”
