“Long ago I yearned to be a hero without knowing, in truth,
what a hero was. Now, perhaps, I understand it a little better. A grower of
turnips or a shaper of clay, a Common farmer or a king--every man is a hero if
he strives more for others than for himself alone.
Once you told me that the seeking counts more than the
finding. So, too, must the striving count more than the gain.”
― Lloyd Alexander, The High King
