“A hero is one who knows how to hang on one minute longer.”

“It is both the greatest power and potentially the greatest weakness of the hero to love and care and strive beyond reason. The hero is the one who turns back and waits for their injured friend knowing the hordes of the enemy are close on their heals, the one who stands alone on the bridge barring the progress of an overwhelming foe in order to allow their companions time to escape, the one who refuses to take one innocent life as a means to saving thousands. The hero is the one who returns to an alien infested space ship, set to self-destruct in minutes, to save the cat.”

“A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.”

“Life. As solid and as strong as a rock one minute, then hanging by a thread the next”

“Heroes may not be braver than anyone else. They're just braver 5 minutes longer.”

“Sam, there comes a time when the world no longer needs heroes. And then the true hero knows to walk away.”
