How to use hero in a sentence?
Umberto Eco, Travels in Hyperreality (Harcourt):
The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.
I define a hero as somebody, who against the judgement of other people, if they believe something will positively impact the world and they chose to do it and honor their integrity. That's what I sort of consider a hero, no matter how big or small a feat they create, and in that light, absolutely I think Edward Snowden is a hero.
behind every known hero there is an unknown hero who is called a teacher” -Quotes Teller( Aleejah Haider)
He is a war hero because he was captured, i like people that weren't captured, OK? I hate to tell you. He is a war hero because he was captured. OK, you can have -- I believe perhaps he is a war hero.
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.
