Famous quotes containing the words hero and/or defeated:
“The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts. An immense difference.”

In a long night when learned arteries
Mounting the ice and sum of barbarous time
Shall yield, without essence, perfect accident.
We are the eyelids of defeated caves.”
