Too many children in foster care are falling through cracks. . . . Be a hero -- take the time learn about adoption today Picture Quote #1

The neglected pioneer of one revolution, the honoured victim of another, brave to the point of folly, and as humane as he was brave, no man in his generation preached republican virtue in better English, nor lived it with a finer disregard of self.{On American founding father and hero, Thomas Paine} Picture Quote #1

Freud was a hero. He descended to the Underworld and met there stark terrors. He carried with him his theory as a Medusa’s head which turned these terrors to stone Picture Quote #1

Wolverine is a world-weary old warrior. His rage issue notwithstanding, I see him as someone with the tortured soul of a poet, but one who has seen too many friends and lovers die. Even with that, he has grown into a leader and a true hero Picture Quote #1

Dogs teach us a lot of things but none more important than to love unconditionally

I don’t necessarily prefer playing villains. I know a lot of people say they are more fun, but if the scriptwriter has done their work well, you can find something realistic in a villain and find the mistakes in a hero - it’s all down to the writing Picture Quote #1

What they saw was a hero baby. That’s what you are. A survivor. A strong woman. Beautiful... Funny as hell... Sexy... Sweet Picture Quote #1

John Cleese was a big hero of mine. He grew up in Weston Super Mare near Bristol where I grew up; he was always very tall and gangly, but he was smart and used his physicality in a very funny way. I used to think, ‘Well he came from Weston and he did it, so there’s a chance for me.’ Picture Quote #1

Gary Oldman is my TV hero. The incredible thing about Gary Oldman is his versatility Picture Quote #1

Perhaps everybody has a garden of Eden, I don’t know; but they have scarcely seen their garden before they see the flaming sword. Then, perhaps, life only offers the choice of remembering the garden or forgetting it. Either, or: it takes strength to remember, it takes another kind of strength to forget, it takes a hero to do both Picture Quote #1

When I say that George Eliot has long been my hero, I mean to include those aspects of her thought and temperament that have been disparaged or dismissed or ignored. She was, after all, a novelist who did not eschew politics or polemics - sometimes silently though defiantly, as in her relationship with George Henry Lewes Picture Quote #1

Don't look back you're not going that way

Build a bridge over shame by teaching kids about sexual abuse. Give them a chance to run to us should they encounter it. Be their hero Picture Quote #1

Julian Assange is certainly no hero. The man behind WikiLeaks issued threats as if he were Dr. No bent on ending civilization as we know it. We will find him, lock him up, and throw away the key. But give the man credit; for a week the truth was laid bare Picture Quote #1

But then in novels the most indifferent hero comes out right at last. Some God comes out of a theatrical cloud and leaves the poor devil ten thousand-a-year and a title Picture Quote #1

My greatest hero is Nelson Mandela. What a man. Incarcerated for 25 years, he was released in 1990 and he hasn’t reoffended. I think he’s going straight, which shows you prison does work Picture Quote #1

There’s only room for one hero in this story-and everyone knows the devil doesn’t get to be the good guy Picture Quote #1

What a beautiful world it would be if people had hearts like dogs

Whenever we play a really good game, everybody’s going to be a hero, and the good part about it is nobody’s trying to be a hero Picture Quote #1

Marguerite Duras was a very good friend of mine and an intellectual hero. She was also a sort of mother figure. Of course she was an influence Picture Quote #1

Don’t be a hero. Don’t have an ego. Always question yourself and your ability. Don’t ever feel that you are very good. The second you do, you are dead Picture Quote #1

For John le Carre, it was always who’s betraying who: the hall-of-mirrors kind of thing. When you go back to the 30s, it’s a case of good vs. evil, and no kidding. When I have a hero who believes France and Britain are on the right side, a reader is not going to question that Picture Quote #1

When I was 5, my father was very much my hero. And he ran for political office in a very thankless campaign for a very thankless position. And he did it because his mother had instilled in him, if you are someone who has the capacity to make a great change, you have the responsibility Picture Quote #1
