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)

    “If I am defeated for the next nomination, I think it will be by [Charles Evans] Hughes. And I don’t think he will allow his name to be used unless he really feels that I have no chance to win. I do not think Theodore Roosevelt will allow his name to come before the convention.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
