Harold Smith

“We choose and make our heroes from what we have read, heard and believed in.”
― Pushpa Rana, Just the Way I Feel

“Heroes are more than just stories, they’re people. And people are complicated; people are strange. Nobody is a hero through and through, there’s always something in them that’ll turn sour... you’ll learn it one day. There are no heroes, only villains who win.”
― Joel Cornah, The Sea-Stone Sword

“A society manufactures the heroes it requires.”
― Colson Whitehead, Zone One

“Men have to have heroes, but no man can ever be as big as the need, and so a legend grows around a grain of truth, like a pearl.”
― Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn
