“You know what a hero is? It's what you're left with when you cut away half the story, when you spill blood, then hide it under the rushes Wars aren't just glory and courage, they're sickness and starvation, a hundred suffering victims for every warrior who rides home triumphant. Heroism's a lie we tell ourselves so we can live with the loss. There are no heroes in the real world.”
― Andrew Knighton, Forged for Destiny
