hero.

an Apt quote for the day, found a mere ten minutes after conceding the truth that one can only be utterly sure of one thing: being misunderstood.

"a man has control over many things in his life; he has control over enough things to be the hero of a novel. but if he had control over everything, there would be so much hero that there would be no novel...
the thing which keeps life romantic and full of fiery possibilities is the existence of these great plain limitations which force all of us to meet the things we do not like or do not expect."
