"Of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music" Ya, I've read a lot.
No one specifically. I can admire civil rights activists, underdogs, presidents, leaders, philosophers, kings, and saints but ultimately I don't know them personally and by extension the circumstances through which they gained their herodom. Most of life is just that, circumstances. Circumstances that will make heroes, cowards, or villains of us all. So I'd just as rather give nought but a nod to those heroes when I see them, and follow my own way through life.
