heroes [Theme] Page 4

Each era has its own hero. The ancient god, Saint Anthony, the gallant knight of courtly literature, the suffering Werther, the Byronic rebel, the dreamer who rejects the rebellion, the little man ruthlessly pursued by civilization.

We are all heroes of Kafka, with daily transitions from hope to longing and from hopeless wisdom to voluntary blindness.

Fear not the villain, fear the hero.

His great heroes perish from the sword of insignificant heroes ... Where does this anti-Enlightenment idea of the Ring come from, that love and violence, love and power are incompatible ?!

The world cannot rid us of the twilight still hanging over it.

About Macron. I would recommend Mr. Macron to read a very good novel by the Strugatsky brothers, "It's Hard to be a God." Just on this topic. Let me remind you: the plot of a fantastic novel is that in the future, on a planet where society is in the Middle Ages, our cosmonauts arrive from an advanced communist society, and the meaning of their activities is not to interfere in anything. Even if they see the crime, torture, executions, atrocities of this society. The heroes of this novel acted very correctly.

Only in bad novels people express themselves accurately and clearly, each event has its own cause, the characters are divided into positive and negative, good and evil, and everything always ends well.

We call heroes those who are capable of doing what each of us is not capable of doing ...

Only one who takes his intentions for granted, and not out of the ordinary, who regards them not as heroism, but as his duty, accepted with enthusiasm and at the same time with a sober understanding of his unconditional duty, is able to become a spiritual seeker of adventures that the world needs. There are no heroes of action, there are heroes of selfless and suffering. There are a lot of them. But only a few of them are known, and then not to the crowd, but to a few.

Being a hero does not mean not being afraid ... It means going towards your fear!

It's better to be a living king than a dead hero.

The first rule of the writers' club is to steal from the masters, the second is that every hero needs a villain.

There are no heroes in our wretched, impoverished age.

Heroes of antiquity, with their solemn glory,
My soul does not move:
On their grave feet by a bloody road
Entered the world of enmity, violence and debauchery ...
