I also love Mole, the unsung hero of reality programming. - Kathy Griffin Who wants to be the unsung hero of my voiceless choir quartet? - Jarod Kintz

Long ago I yearned to be a hero without knowing, in truth, what a hero was. Now, perhaps, I understand it a little better. A grower of turnips or a shaper of clay, a Commot farmer or a king--every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone. Once you told me that the seeking counts more than the finding. So, too, must the striving count more than the gain. - Lloyd Alexander So be it. Long ago I yearned to be a hero without knowing, in truth, what a hero was. Now, perhaps, I understand it a little better. A grower of turnips or a shaper of clay, a Commot farmer or a king - every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone. Once you told me that the seeking counts more than the finding. So, too, must the striving count more than the gain. - Lloyd Alexander I was in the neighborhood," he said, answering the question I was about to ask. His lips twitched. "You know, wandering around, trying to be a hero. - Brodi Ashton I used to g...

When the heroes go off the stage, the clowns come on. - Heinrich Heine The balance of private good and general welfare is at the bottom of civilized morals; but the morals of the Heroic Age are founded on individuality, and on nothing else. - Lascelles Abercrombie The Palestinian mother is the author of the survival story of the Palestinian people. She is the heroine, the one behind the success. - Izzeldin Abuelaish It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues. When a mind is raised, and animated by scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant, wake into life and form the character of the hero and the statesman. - John Adams The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. - Felix Adler...

It was like the Justice League of Super Heroes but instead it was the Justice League of Hot Guys. - Kristen Ashley I don't like James Bond. They made him a super hero, but he is just an agent, a human being. In my movies, secret agents are more realistic, I didn't want to portray them in the most glowing colours. - King Hu The trouble with super heroes is what to do between phone booths. - Ken Kesey I thought it was such a unique concept to play parents who happen to be super heroes and have a son who is going through puberty and starting high school. - Kelly Preston I'm a super hero and I'm in a phone booth but those things have nothing in common with each other; I just come here to cry. - Christy Leigh Stewart You all right, man?' This should be my name. I could be like a super hero: You All Right Man. Ah...' I stumble. Don't bug Craig,' Ronny is like. 'He's in the Craig zone. He's Craig-ing out. - Ned Vizzini

it's difficult to root for America when the villains of the story live in a ditch and are armed with jagged rocks. At some point in recent years they looked up from their international heroism to realize they'd alienated the entire world. - Yahtzee Croshaw A man who kills on his own is a murderer. A man who kills at his government's request is a national hero. - Ramman Kenoun Rizal's greatest misfortune is being national hero of the Philippines. - Ambeth R Ocampo I learned how fast you can go from being an international hero to being a reference in a joke on a late night talk show. - Michael Phelps

Oh, don't I wish I could manage things for you as I do for my heroines! You're pretty enough and good enough already, so I'd have some rich relation leave you a fortune unexpectedly; then you'd dash out as an heiress, scorn everyone who has slighted you, go abroad, and como home my Lady Something in a blaze of splendor and elegance. - Louisa May Alcott King Arthur was one of my heroes - I played with a trash can lid for a knightly shield and my uncle's cane for the sword Excalibur. - Lloyd Alexander And now I may dismiss my heroine to the sleepless couch, which is the true heroine's portion - to a pillow strewed with thorns and wet with tears. And lucky may she think herself, if she get another good night's rest in the course of the next three months. - Jane Austen Every young lady may feel for my heroine in this critical moment, for every young lady has at some time or other known the same agitation. - Jane Austen My heroes are the camera crew and the ...

Conway Twitty was always our local hero while I was growing up. He had a series of good bands. I wanted to sit in, if Conway would let me. And he did a couple of times. - Levon Helm Yeah, I was a local hero. It was great for me, 'cos I had a full house every night all night seven nights a week for five years that I played. The next five years I just played five days a week, but I still had a full house every night. - John Hunter

The Byronic hero, incapable of love, or capable only of an impossible love, suffers endlessly. He is solitary, languid, his condition exhausts him. If he wants to feel alive, it must be in the terrible exaltation of a brief and destructive action. - Albert Camus I didn't realize House would be the central character, more the bitter comic relief appearing occasionally. I relish his wounded nature - the lameness, the scarred Byronic hero. - Hugh Laurie

Be your own hero, it's cheaper than a movie ticket. - Douglas Horton In this life, you have to be your own hero. - Jeanette Winterson

If you wanna be a hero, well Just Follow ME. - John Lennon This is the way we win over our enemies, not with bigger weapons, or faster ships, but with human courage, ingenuity, and sacrifice. Don't lose hope. We've faced the darkness beforeit has nothing new to teach us. As we go about our lives, let us remember the example Dr. Navarro set for us. At the right time, anyone can be a hero. - Ann Aguirre Long ago I yearned to be a hero without knowing, in truth, what a hero was. Now, perhaps, I understand it a little better. A grower of turnips or a shaper of clay, a Commot farmer or a king--every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone.

Everybody knows about Pearl Harbor. The thing that really fascinated me is that through this tragedy there was this amazing American heroism. - Michael Bay Steve McQueen was from a time when you didn't know every little dirty thing about our public figures. He and James Dean were very mysterious, archetypal American heroes. - Sheryl Crow She was in a difficult position being the widow of a great American hero, a role that carried high expectations but she did a credible job of continuing Dr King's dream especially in the face of a changing and often hostile American public. - Morris Dees Probably we'll think of Bush in years to come as an American hero. - Tommy Franks Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero. - Morgan Freeman How fantastic that the American ingenuity of NASA scientists got us to Mars. It makes me proud to be an American. I can't get enough of these images from when the probe touched down. These scientists are American her...
