Heroism is still heroism even if no one is left to acknowledge or remember it. If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? We know in our hearts that the answer is yes.
“You know the problem with heroes and saints, Nikolai?” I asked as I closed the book’s cover and headed for the door. “They always end up dead.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Siege and Storm
