Unsung Hero Quotes

• In our world of big names, curiously, our true heroes tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial than his well-knownness often proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.

• The past year's natural disasters have highlighted the invaluable contributions of volunteers in our communities. They have volunteered their time, energy and skills to save lives and to rebuild communities.

• Victoria en la derrota, no hay ninguna más alta. Ella no se rindió, Ben; sigue intentando levantar esa piedra después de que la haya aplastado. Es un padre que trabaja mientras el cáncer le corroe las entrañas, para traer a casa un cheque más. Es una niña de doce años que intenta ser madre de sus hermanos y hermanas porque mamá tuvo que irse al cielo. Es una telefonista que se aferra a su puesto mientras el humo la ahoga y el fuego le impide escapar. Ella es todos los héroes anónimos que no pudieron lograrlo pero nunca renunciaron.

  Robert A. Heinlein

  Madre, Hermano, Renunciar

• I know the M-word makes you nervous, but yeah. I'm talking about the big, permanent friendship. A little different from what Joe and Charles had, though. See, I want to be the kind of best friends who make love every night, who share all their darkest secrets and favorite jokes, and maybe even someday make babies together. I know that kind of friendship requires hard work, but you know, I'm pretty good at hard work. ~ Tom Paoletti, "The Unsung Hero

• One of my unsung heroes is Erich Mendelsohn. I met him when I was a student and he was a cranky old man and very unpleasant. But if you go to his Einstein Tower in Potsdam, Germany you see an enormous intellect at work with a language that was personal and new. It has a sense of urban design and of theater and procession I hadn't seen before.

He's been pretty much forgotten, and I think he needs to be recognized. He had to go all the way to Europe to find recognition and acceptance, and I'd just like to bring him to the forefront.
