Famous quotes containing the words true and/or hero:
“There can be no doubt that distrust of words is less harmful than unwarranted trust in them. Besides, to distrust words, and indict them for the horrors that might slumber unobtrusively within them—isn’t this, after all, the true vocation of the intellectual?”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“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)
