Quote by T. Alan Horne

“A hero is a slave to his public image. To stay a hero, the world requires you to support their ever-changing notions of right and wrong. You’re not allowed to come to your own conclusions. You cannot have your own ideas of good and evil. If you follow your own conscience even once, you get crucified. All the love the world promised you vanishes, and they hate you worse than any villain”
