Heroes:

All are beautiful; all are holy; all are divine. To worship another is merely to lose the present ability to realize your own heroic quality. We all must see each other for who we are-stewards of this one earth and its many peoples, animals, plants and minerals--given the ability to love and save one another from madness.
