&ldquo;A hero is someone who rebels or seems to rebel against the facts of existence and seems to conquer them. Obviously that can only work at moments. It can&#039;t be a lasting thing. That&#039;s not saying that people shouldn&#039;t keep trying to rebel against the facts of existence. Someday, who knows, we might conquer death, disease and war.&rdquo; -Jim Morrison
