Hero Battles

Famous quotes containing the words hero and/or battles:

    If the hero is not a person, the emblem
    Of him, even if Xenophon, seems
    To stand taller than a person stands, has
    A wider brow, large and less human
    Eyes and bruted ears: the man-like body
    Of a primitive.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
