Thoughts for Thursday is a new meme hosted by Musings on Fantasia and LKHill.  In this meme, we share thoughts or quotes that we know or have recently come across. Each week there is a specific subject or theme. These can be quotes from books, quotes by famous people, (quotes by YOU, perhaps ;D). Anything from anywhere is game, though we do ask that you keep your quote to a few sentences at most. Don't quote, for example, entire passages of a book or essay. These can be funny quips, cool sayings, hair-raising antidotes, movie lines, any kind of quote you can think of!

Readers may respond by either commenting on the quote I put forward or contributing a quote of their own. I'll include a linky list, or you can just respond in the comments.

Just have fun, collect awesome sayings by awesome people, and try to be inspired!  

This week's theme is heroes! Here are some great quotes!

"Without heroes we are all plain people and don't know how far we can go."--Bernard Malamud

“Men have to have heroes, but no man can ever be as big as the need, and so a legend grows around a grain of truth, like a pearl.” --Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

“Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments.” --Kevin Costner

“There is power within great sacrifice, within noble deeds. There are moments... brief, shining moments when the impossible becomes possible.” --Kelly Keaton, A Beautiful Evil

“To be heroic does not have to mean possessing the ability to stand against the evils of the world, either well or successfully, but just that one is willing to stand.” --Mike Alsford, Heroes and Villains

"A coward dies a thousand deaths. A hero, only one." --William Shakespeare
