Famous quotes containing the words true and/or hero:
“The true preacher can be known by this, that he deals out to the people his life,—life passed through the fire of thought.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In a novel a hero can lay ten girls and marry a virgin for a finish. In a movie this is not allowed. The hero, as well as the heroine, has to be a virgin. The villain can lay anybody he wants, have as much fun as he wants cheating and stealing, getting rich and whipping the servants. But you have to shoot him in the end.”
—Herbert Mankiewicz (1897–1953)
