#Heroes

"We are all ordinary. We are all boring. We are all spectacular. We are all shy. We are all bold. We are all heroes. We are all helpless. It just depends on the day."

"Our culture has filled our heads but emptied our hearts, stuffed our wallets but starved our wonder. It has fed our thirst for facts but not for meaning or mystery. It produces "nice"people, not heroes."

"Humor is rare in science fiction... there's so little of it that it automatically reminds you of other heroes with that acerbic humor when you find it."

"Perseverance is the act of true role models and heroes."

"I think 'Heroes of Cosplay' will show a lot of the positive things, like how much effort it takes to make a costume. These people on the show aren't taking shortcuts. As long as that effort gets through to the viewers, we will be inspirational. Then there will be people who watch the show that want to get in and hands-on make outfits."

"I think superheroes are heroes with flaws, and in their flaws, there is a sense of humor."

"The fame of heroes owes little to the extent of their conquests and all to the success of the tributes paid to them."

"We need not take refuge in supernatural gods to explain our saints and sages and heroes and statesmen, as if to explain our disbelief that mere unaided human beings could be that good or wise."

"That is why enemies can be great motivators. They serve as fuel for your fire."

"Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed. It is all part of the fairy tale."

"In a room wherepeople unanimously maintaina conspiracy of silence,one word of truthsounds like a pistol shot."

"when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth- that hero lies in you."

"Athletes tend to have less of a sense of humor than most people. They are heroes to so many. That might be part of it."

"Who are your favorite heroines in real life? The women of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran who risk their lives and their beauty to defy the foulness of theocracy. Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Azar Nafisi as their ideal feminine model."

"I like George Carlin's jokes. I like his humor. He's one of my heroes, and I like what he did with talking about everyday things."

"They say you don't want to meet your heroes, but those two guys, you do want to meet them, because they do not disappoint. Walken has this amazing sense of humor, and Pacino is like just a sweetheart of a guy."

"Don't try to follow trends. Create them."

"We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too."

"What makes a hero? Courage, strength, morality, withstanding adversity? Are these the traits that truly show and create a hero? Is the light truly the source of darkness or vice versa? Is the soul a source of hope or despair? Who are these so called heroes and where do they come from? Are their origins in obscurity or in plain sight?"

"To be heroic is to be courageous enough to die for something; to be inspirational is to be crazy enough to live a little."
