We are the planet, fully as much as water, earth, fire and air are the planet, and if the planet survives, it will only be through heroism. Not occasional heroism, a remarkable instance of it here and there, but constant heroism, systematic heroism, heroism as governing principle.

Russell Banks

What is evil? Killing is evil, lying is evil, slandering is evil, abuse is evil, gossip is evil, envy is evil, hatred is evil, to cling to false doctrine is evil; all these things are evil. And what is the root of evil? Desire is the root of evil, illusion is the root of evil.

Gautama Buddha

No man, perhaps, is so wicked as to commit evil for its own sake. Evil is generally committed under the hope of some advantage the pursuit of virtue seldom obtains. Yet the most successful result of the most virtuous heroism is never without its alloy.

Benjamin Haydon

It is mercy, not justice or courage or even heroism, that alone can defeat evil.

Peter Kreeft

Pride is a fruitful source of uneasiness. It keeps the mind in disquiet. Humility is the antidote to this evil.

Lydia Sigourney

If leaders don't have an antidote for fear they will be crushed by it. What is your antidote?

Bill Hybels

Freedom of a nation cannot be won by solitary acts of heroism though they may be of the true type, never by heroism so called.

Mahatma Gandhi

Any film is about heroism: the triumph of good over evil. If you look back at my films, you will see that as a recurring theme.

Salman Khan

Heroism--that is the disposition of a man who aspires to a goal compared to which he himself is wholly insignificant. Heroism is the good will to self-destruction.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Heroism is heroism, regardless of the timeframe or the backdrop.

Mark Waid

There was no heroism in 'Manichitrathazhu' but there will be heroism in 'Chandramukhi.'

P. Vasu

Every evil has its good, and every ill an antidote.

Dorothea Dix

When one has once accepted and absorbed Evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. The ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate Evil are not your own but those of Evil.... Evil is whatever distracts. Evil knows of the Good, but Good does not know of Evil. Knowledge of oneself is something only Evil has. One means that Evil has is the dialogue.... One cannot pay Evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.

Franz Kafka

What people adore about superhero movies is the signal quality of the Christopher Nolan films - their complete lack of irony when it comes to the portrayal of heroism and the need for heroes to confront evil.

John Podhoretz

I love writing in compressed time periods because the act of survival in the midst of panic and fear, that's where true heroism comes. If you have a uniform, and you're expected to do things, it's a sort of incremental heroism.
