Anthony Esolen Quotes
You Democratize Heroism. Everybody Is A Hero, And Simply For Doing (and Often Not Well At That) The Ordinary Tasks Of Living As A Half-decent Person. Does Your Mother Fix You Breakfast? She Is A Hero. Does Your Father Visit You Every Weekend Without Fail? A Hero. Does Your Teacher Mark Your Papers Faithfully When You Make A Mistake? Unexampled Heroism, That. If Everyone Is A Hero, Then No One Is A Hero; And Genuine Heroes Will Go Unnoticed In All The Mindless Self-congratulation.
