Hero Killed

Famous quotes containing the words hero and/or killed:

“One writer says that Brown’s peculiar monomania made him to be “dreaded by the Missourians as a supernatural being.” Sure enough, a hero in the midst of us cowards is always so dreaded. He is just that thing. He shows himself superior to nature. He has a spark of divinity in him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

““O I have killed my hawk so good,
Mother, mother;”
—Unknown. Edward (l. 5–6)
