Hero Defeated

Famous quotes containing the words hero and/or defeated:

    The hero is a feeling, a man seen
    As if the eye was an emotion,
    As if in seeing we saw our feeling
    In the object seen and saved that mystic
    Against the sight, the penetrating,
    Pure eye.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    He who succeeds is a king; he who is defeated is a bandit.
