“I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.”
“Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect.”
“Heroes. Brave men and women who lay down their lives for someone else... Our culture understands heroism. But we don’t understand martyrs.”
“...being written by someone who might not quite understand the subconscious nuance of the character leaves us in varying degrees of flatness.”
“Knowledge is freedom and with freedom comes understanding.”
“No hero is a hero if he ever killed someone! Only the man who has not any blood in his hand can be a real hero! The honour of being a hero belongs exclusively to the peaceful people!”
