A Quote by Martial
No hero to me is the man who, by easy shedding of his blood, purchases fame: my hero is he who, without death, can win praise.

There's not a drop of hero's blood in my whole body, so spare me the praise. I'm just an ordinary guy, and proud of it. I'm here because I put in the time.

When you see the violence of Hollywood movies, there is a tendency that the hero is combating and confronting many people, without much harm to himself.
