Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Maybe being a hero is deciding to step up on behalf of another at great expense to oneself because that is the essence our humanity. And if such actions are heroic, maybe they are not heroic because we decided to embrace that essence. Rather, maybe they’re heroic because we chose not to reject it.”
