achieving true sobriety goes beyond abstinence. it's also about healing your soul, apologizing for damage you did to other, and seeking forgiveness.
It matters little that you are afraid if you manage to hide it. You are then at the edge of courage. (one of Jaujard's philosophies)
For my part, I love to give myself up to the illusion of poetry. A hero of fiction that never existed is just as valuable to me as a hero of history that existed a thousand years ago.
Sometimes I wonder about good and evil. If the villain wins, isn't he heralded as the hero? I've tried so hard to be good since that day, but sometimes I wonder whether it's even worth it. After all, to be the hero, I have to win.
Everybody asks, 'How do you do it?' And I'm like, 'Well, I'm recurring on both shows, so the reality is, I can do both shows.' And that's the best position to be in. And 'Heroes' just asked me to come back and do more. So once I stop airing on '24' f...
Here’s the life lesson I’ve learned, Fifi: Some people are born to play the hero, and some are born to play the bad guy. Fighting your destiny only makes life harder than it needs to be. Besides, people remember the villain long after they’ve f...
Imagine young people would grow up with the feeling that you have to be a hero to do your human duty. I am afraid nobody would ever help other people, because who is a hero?
September 11th has produced only miniature heroes because our culture has freed itself from many of the old, dangerous, elitist fantasies of heroism... But in so doing, we have not only tamed and diminished heroes. We have risked taming and diminishi...
As far as superhero stories, what's appealing is of course that aspect of wish fulfillment. I mean, you start out reading them as a kid, and a couple things jump out at you - there are heroes out there, and you wish you could run into a phone booth a...
I love the ideas of looking back to historical heroes to give us inspiration on how we can be today's heroes to move forward in the future. So guys like... William Bradford and William Wallace, the Bravehearts, the Patriots, the Pilgrims. There are s...
Where you live matters. Whatever you're doing, there's usually only one place where the top people go. You should go there. Don't settle for anywhere else. Meeting my heroes and learning from them gave me a huge advantage. Your heroes are part of you...
We get heroes with impossible abilities and heroines with strengths we can only dream of. And for a little while, we are those characters. That hero is in love with us. That heroine is you, the reader, and you are all kinds of powerful. And you might...
Dumbledore: Send a message to Azkaban. I think they'll find they're missing a prisoner. Barty Crouch Junior: [gloating] I'll be welcomed back like a hero! Dumbledore: Perhaps. Personally, I've never had much time for heroes.
I love to see heroes who fuel some kind of moral furnace inside them, who are driven to take on the evils of the world, despite the fact that the evils of the world are more powerful than them. And essentially can never be defeated, but they refuse t...
[first lines] Ringleader: The winner, by total annihilation - Yamaaaa! Yama: Who's next? Who has the guts to step into the ring, with Little Yama... Hiro: Can I try? I have a robot. I built it myself. Yama: [laughs raucously]
Hiro: [after baymax startles him] [sternly] Hiro: You gave me, A HEART ATTACK! Baymax: My hands are equipped with defibrillators. [activates built-in defibrillators] Baymax: Clear. Hiro: [quickly] Stop s st STOP! That was just an expression.
My family has served the country in almost every major war since the Civil War.
All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers.
I actually collect old First and Second World War memorabilia.
The Cold War is over but Cold War thinking survives.
In a war, no matter the outcome of a certain skirmish or battle, the winner is the party whose attitudes, behaviors and preoccupations come to dominate the postwar landscape. By this measure, the outcome of the gender wars, if wars they were, is clea...
