"In real life, there is real heroism, but its not about saving babies from burning buildings. Its about making an effort, day after day, to be kind to some old people, be patient with some young people, be polite to those who you could get away being rude to. Real life heroism is a marathon, not a sprint."


~ John F. Groom

"To be a hero you have to learn to be a deviant, because you're always going agains the conformity of the group. 

Heroes are ordinary people whose social action is Extra-Ordinary who ACT when others are passive, who give up EGO-centrism for SOCIO-centrism."

~ Philip Zimbardo

"Man's greatest actions are performed in minor struggles. Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment and poverty are battlefields which have their heroes - obscure heroes who are at times greater than illustrious heroes."

-- Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
