Quotes for the Week: Heroes

Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story.
                                               John Barth
Or her own life story.
                         Thelma Zirkelbach

No man is a hero to his valet.

Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment, poverty  
      are battlefields which have their heroes,
obscure heroes, sometimes greater than the illustrious heroes.

I especially like the last one. I think there are lots of non-illustrious heroes these days, each doing our own little things to improve things in our country and the world. And it's amazing what "little" people can achieve if there are enough of them.
