"Heroes need monsters to establish their heroic credentials. You need something scary to overcome."
"People love super heroes. It's true we're impressed by their bravery and fortitude, their supernatural gifts and physical brawn. But the fact is, villains possess these same qualities. So why our admiration for the hero and not the nemesis? Because of virtue. A super hero gives everything to defend what's good and right without seeking praise or reward. Think about it. All the great heroes give without taking, help without grumbling, sacrifice without asking recompense. A super hero's real strength, what we absolutely fall in love with, is his finer virtue."
"Heroes are higher than their vulnerability that is why they are heroes."
"True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost."
"Stretch yourself a bit to know the difference between humans and heroes."
"Heroes don't have the need to be known as heroes, they just do what heroes do because it is right and it must be done."
