Rollo May Psychologist, Author
Order

"Heroes are necessary in order to enable the citizens to find their own ideals, courage and wisdom in the society. The hero carries our hopes, our aspirations, our ideals, our beliefs.

This is what makes heroism so important: it reflects our own sense of identity and from this our own heroism is molded."
