Adventure Hero

Famous quotes containing the words adventure and/or hero:

“Wilson adventured for the whole of the human race. Not as a servant, but as a champion. So pure was this motive, so unflecked with anything that his worst enemies could find, except the mildest and most excusable, a personal vanity, practically the minimum to be human, that in a sense his adventure is that of humanity itself. In Wilson, the whole of mankind breaks camp, sets out from home and wrestles with the universe and its gods.”
—William Bolitho (1890–1930)

“In every great novel, who is the hero all the time? Not any of the characters, but some unnamed and nameless flame behind them all.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
