Hero Defeated

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.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    With a defeated joy,
    With an auspicious, and a dropping eye,
    With mirth in funeral, and with dirge in marriage,
    In equal scale weighing delight and dole.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
