Famous quotes containing the words hero and/or defeated:
“Don’t read much now: the dude
Who lets the girl down before
The hero arrives, the chap
Who’s yellow and keeps the store,
Seem far too familiar. Get stewed:
Books are a load of crap.”

“The poet is he who fights on the passionate
Side and whoever loses he wins; when he
Is defeated it is hard to say who wins....”
