Aeneas Hero Quotes

#1. Bree nodded eagerly, anxious to see her friend again. "Oooh. I like that idea. Yeah. Let's stay, Alessandro and then in the morning, we can have wine with our toast! Oh hey, that's funny, huh. Wine, toast, get it?" Bree giggled. Oh wow. Her head was feeling really, really fuzzy. "Okay, let's go to bed," Alessandro said rising from the couch after he and Kevin finished discussing the plans for the vineyard in the coming year as well as the progress it had made thus far. Bree gasped. "Alessandro! We can't have sex in someone else's house!" Alessandro blushed and placed a hand on her back, leading her towards the stairs after wishing Hadley a good night. "It's my house, darling," he reminded her. "Oh well, that's okay then, but you can't be loud though cause that would still be rude," Bree said, reaching down and squeezing Alessandro's ass. Gosh, her hubby had a really nice tight ass. "Here we are," he said, leading her into one of the mansion's many bedrooms. "Alessandro, I hass…have…a little confestion to make," Bree said leaning her head on his shoulder. "You do?" he asked placing her on the bed and bending down to remove her shoes. Bree lay back and stared up at the spinning ceiling. "Mmhm. I think…I'm ina...Little drunk bit." "Really?" Alessandro asked with feigned surprise. #Quote by E. Jamie

#2. All right. We'll swing by the estate first. You're to stay in the transport, though. I'll bring you his head."

"Please. Just ... put the head in a bag. I'd hate to get sick all over the inside of this transport. #Quote by Cherie Noel

#3. Even his hair was bigger - a massive globe of blue-black frizz so thick that his
lobster-claw horns appeared to be drowning as they tried to swim their way to the surface.
"Is that why they named you Aphros?" Leo asked as they glided down the path from the cave. "Because of the Afro?"
Aphros scowled. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing," Leo said quickly. #Quote by Rick Riordan

#5. Had Philip's warlike son been intellectually so far ahead as to have attempted civilisation without bloodshed, he would have been twice the godlike hero that he seemed; but nobody would have heard of an Alexander. #Quote by Thomas Hardy

#6. ...while hiding in plain sight in Belgrade, undercover as a New Age mountebank, Karadžic frequented a bar called Mad House - Luda kuca. Mad House offered weekly gusle-accompanied performances of Serbian epic poetry; wartime pictures of him and General Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serbs' military leader (now on trial in The Hague), proudly hung on the walls. A local newspaper claimed that, on at least one occasion, Karadžic performed an epic poem in which he himself featured as the main hero, undertaking feats of extermination. Consider the horrible postmodernism of the situation: an undercover war criminal narrating his own crimes in decasyllabic verse, erasing his personality so that he could assert it more forcefully and heroically. #Quote by Aleksandar Hemon

#7. When all is done, you must look in your own heart to know the truth. It lies at some middle depth, half-truths above, half-truths below. Even my truth, what I tell you know, is colored to fit my vision. Find your own truths as best you can, only remember that few are courageous enough to tell a tale of which they are not the hero. #Quote by Alida Van Gores

#8. The man who fights against his own country is never a hero. #Quote by Victor Hugo

#9. A hero is somebody who voluntarily walks into the unknown.
Tom Hanks #Quote by Tom Hanks

#10. The class's favorite
book was Nabokov's Invitation to a Beheading. In this novel, Nabokov differentiates
Cincinnatus C., his imaginative and lonely hero, from those around him through his
originality in a society where uniformity is not only the norm but also the law. #Quote by Azar Nafisi

#11. There's a saying by some great writer or other that no man is a hero to his valet. Perhaps everyone ought to have a valet. #Quote by Agatha Christie

#12. Nobody knew what he knew. The whirl of time, the true life inside him. This was his leverage, his only control. He watched his mother browning the flour, her hands rising sticky-white from the heavy-bottomed pan. He ran messages to steamship lines. He lay near sleep, falling into reverie, the powerful world of Oswald-hero, guns flashing in the dark. The reverie of control, perfection of rage, perfection of desire, the fantasy of night, rain-slick streets, the heightened shadows of men in dark coats, like men on movie posters. The dark had a power. #Quote by Don DeLillo

#13. "You're my hero," we both say at the same time. I don't hear Kent move, but all of a sudden his voice is closer, and he's found my hands in the dark, and he's cupping them in his. #Quote by Lauren Oliver

#14. How many other old enemies were in this crowd? Percy began to realize that every battle he'd ever won had only been a temporary victory. No matter how strong or lucky he was, no matter how many monsters he destroyed, Percy would eventually fail. He was only one mortal. He would get too old, too weak, or too slow. He would die. And these monsters ... they lasted forever. They just kept coming back. Maybe it would take them months or years to re-form, maybe even centuries. But they would be reborn.
Seeing them assembled in Tartarus, Percy felt as hopeless as the spirits in the River Cocytus. So what if he was a hero? So what if he did something brave? Evil was always here, regenerating, bubbling under the surface. Percy was no more than a minor annoyance to these immortal beings. They just had to outwait him. Someday, Percy's sons or daughters might have to face them all over again. #Quote by Rick Riordan

#15. Jesse Owen was bigger than a black hero, he was an American hero. For me, I looked at it from that perspective. Through my research, I obviously learned a lot, much of which made me sad, upset, disappointed and even angry, regarding what Jesse had to go through. Not only was he a black man in America during an age of high racial tension and segregation, but he was also living in the middle of the Great Depression - it was very difficult times for him and his family. #Quote by Stephan James

#16. The tragic hero prefers death to prudence. The comedian prefers playing tricks to winning. Only the villain really plays to win. #Quote by Mason Cooley

#17. The Cyclopes growled, I don't see very well since the last hero poked my eye out, but you're ... NO ... LADY ... CYCLOPES! #Quote by Rick Riordan

#18.
Hero!? Forget it! We're Pirates! I love heroes but I don't wanna become one! Do you even know what it takes to be a Hero!?
Lets say you have some meat okay? Now a Pirate would chomp down on that bad boy, but a hero would share it with everyone!! I want to eat meat!""

#21. This is who I am, Séraphine. Naked, with blade and blood. I am vengeance. I am hate. I am sin personified. Never mistake me for the hero of this tale, for I am not and shall never be. I am the villain. #Quote by Elizabeth Hoyt

#22. Amy, amante, amour, he whispered, as if the words themselves were smuts of ash rising and falling, as though the candle were the story of his life and she the flame. He lay down in his haphazard cot. After a time he found and opened a book he had been reading that he had expected to end well, a romance which he wanted to end well, with the hero and heroine finding love, with peace and joy and redemption and understanding. Love is two bodies with one soul, he read, and turned the page. But there was nothing - the final pages had been ripped away and used as toilet paper or smoked, and there was no hope or joy or understanding. There was no last page. The book of his life just broke off. There was only the mud below him and the filthy sky above. There was to be no peace and no hope. And Dorrigo Evans understood that the love story would go on forever and ever, world without end. He would live in hell, because love is that also. #Quote by Richard Flanagan

#23. The opposite of a coward is one who knows and does the right thing at the right time even if it may cost them their own life. #Quote by Joseph Skinner

#24. So are you saying I'm your Superman?"

--- Josh Copeland #Quote by Dawn Chartier

#25. I'm always interested in getting to know people, and that means vilified people as much as those celebrated. You find out that heroes aren't always so heroic, and villains have some bit of humanity in them. #Quote by Dustin Lance Black

#26. Assassination creates an instant hero of its target. Any past sins are not just forgiven but utterly forgotten. #Quote by Lesley Hazleton

#27. As I approach a new project, my process always begins with the question: what is it about? Here's one answer that might apply to a Star Trek movie...

I want it to be about the most horrible, treacherous aliens ever known to man who are about to destroy life as we know it, leading to the most spectacular thrill ride of an adventure with fantastic space battles and huge explosions and great special effects -- a white knuckle ride for the movie audience.

Yeah, but what's it about?

I can write space battles with the best of them, but what makes that space battle interesting to me is: why are they fighting? What are the stakes? What does the hero lose if he loses? And what does he win if he wins? Why should we care?

I'm talking about the second level of story-telling. The level that examines what's going on inside the characters - their moral and ethical dilemmas, their doubts, fears, inner conflicts, how they change as the story progresses. These are the things that make us, as members of an audience, get emotionally involved. #Quote by Michael Piller

#28. Your life is not little, and your playing small doesn't serve
the world. Your living large, on the other hand-your being
your true self despite fear, fatigue, doubt, and opposition-
will serve the world more than you can imagine. In fact, it
may help save it. And saving the world, after all, is
what all heroes (including you) are here to do. #Quote by Martha Beck

#29. I'm not a legend or a hero, I don't slay dragons, I don't do any of the things that a real hero can. But I can make things better, one day at a time, for most of the kingdom. #Quote by Mercedes Lackey

#31. So, it's cool that, yes, Hal Jordan is a superhero, but my character is a real-world hero in her own life. #Quote by Blake Lively

#32. The pulp hero, though he may be a renegade, is a guy who doesn't feel. Anything. Ever. And for the adolescent male - pummeled by emotions left and right, whether arising from sexuality or resulting from his necessary encounters with authority - this hero is a blessing, a relief and a release. The world he lives in, where feelings are totally under control, looks to the adolescent boy like heaven! This hero's lack of feeling - like Star Trek's Spock - is what allows him to be a genius, or allows him to shoot the bad guys and/or aliens, without a quiver to his lip. #Quote by Samuel R. Delany

#33. Besides, I did not require heroism--I had been the hero of my own life for some time. #Quote by Gabrielle Zevin

-The Penitent God #Quote by S.G. Night

#35. All the Chinese have to do is fly around the Moon and back, and they'll appear to have won the return to the Moon with humans. They could put one person on the surface of the Moon for one day and he'd be a national hero. #Quote by Buzz Aldrin

#36. Will this long presidency of George W. Bush ever be over? Living through it is starting to seem like some ghastly, upsetting novel in which the hero is the country, and the president is this disturbing, pig-headed, oblivious villain who makes things worse and worse and worse. #Quote by Christopher Durang

#37. That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end. #Quote by Lise Hand

#38. The logical man must either deny all miracles or none. #Quote by Charles Alexander Eastman

#39. Sometimes heroism is pressing on when the ending is already predestined... Sometimes a hero has to fall. #Quote by Seanan McGuire

#40. I'm a fucking coward."
"Maybe." Craw jerked his thumb over his shoulder at Whirrun's corpse. "There's a hero. Tell me who's better off. #Quote by Joe Abercrombie

#41. Great men need to be lifted upon the shoulders of the whole world, in order to conceive their great ideas or perform their great deeds. That is, there must be an atmosphere of greatness round about them. A hero cannot be a hero unless in an heroic world. #Quote by Nathaniel Hawthorne

#42. An efficiency-regime cannot be run without a few heroes stuck about it to carry off the dullness
much as plums have to be put into bad pudding to make it palatable. #Quote by E. M. Forster

#43. For Hamlet, greatness means willingness to fight for reasons as thin as an eggshell: anyone would fight for things that matter; true heroes take their personal honor so seriously they will fight for things that don't matter. #Quote by Peter Thiel

#44. But it wasn't Neil or Buzz that had interested her, or even the moon itself. She had been attracted to the missions' most unsung hero: Michael Collins, alone in Columbia, drifting around the moon in exquisite solitary splendor while Buzz and Neil had gone about the terrestrial work of putting down a plaque, erecting a flag, and gathering rocks. Every two hours Michael Collins had gone out of radio contact for forty-eight minutes when the moon stood between himself and Earth, and during those minutes he was the most alone person in the history of people. Helen still liked to think about that. That had always been her dream: space, not a location with it, just space. #Quote by Meg Howrey

#48. Festa di cazzo! Coglioni! Mostro!"
"A minute ago I was a hero." Sympathetically, he blew on the sting. "Better in a minute. Let's deal
with the rest."
"Va via."
"Would you mind cursing at me in English?"
"I said go away. Don't touch me."
"Come on, be a big, brave girl. I'll give you a lollipop after." He yanked the blanket aside, dealt
quickly, ruthlessly with the other scrapes. #Quote by Nora Roberts

#49. While knowledge of tools and the love of motif may be in your backpack, and all mountains may be measured by their previous heroes, art must exist for you in a place beyond the judgment of others. #Quote by Robert Genn
