Growing up, Michael Jordan was my Olympic hero. ~ Kerri Walsh
Olympic Hero quotes by Kerri Walsh
Life doesn't give you all the practice races you need. ~ Jesse Owens
Olympic Hero quotes by Jesse Owens
Your Olympic Hero is scheduled to wrestle a match against the man they call the big red retard; not that I have anything against retarded people cause I don't. As a matter of fact, I have a lot of retarded fans out there that admire and respect your Olympic Hero, and I wish them well. ~ Kurt Angle
Olympic Hero quotes by Kurt Angle
Although I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President either. ~ Jesse Owens
Olympic Hero quotes by Jesse Owens
If your Olympic Hero were to use the Worm in the 1996 Olympic Games, it would be so embarassing to all the other atheletes - and our country, mind you- that the USA would have finished behind Guam. ~ Kurt Angle
Olympic Hero quotes by Kurt Angle
Friendships born on the field of athletic strife are the real gold of competition. Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust. ~ Jesse Owens
Olympic Hero quotes by Jesse Owens
The only bond worth anything between human beings is their humanness. ~ Jesse Owens
Olympic Hero quotes by Jesse Owens
I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up. ~ Jesse Owens
Olympic Hero quotes by Jesse Owens
I've always been the protagonist of my own story, but it's interesting to think I could be a villain in somebody else's. Somebody out there has tried to attain or achieve something, and I have stood in their way. To an extent, we're each an encapsulation of both protagonist and antagonist, hero and villain. ~ Sophia Lee
Olympic Hero quotes by Sophia  Lee
Every time I traveled to a new city, I would learn about local heroes I did not know about, and I would learn about their very impressive contribution to their cities. ~ Jimenez Lai
Olympic Hero quotes by Jimenez Lai
One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being. ~ May Sarton
Olympic Hero quotes by May Sarton
Yesterday the flame of the Olympic torch was carried through our great state on its way to Salt Lake City. ~ Jane D. Hull
Olympic Hero quotes by Jane D. Hull
Growing up in Alaska, they don't really teach you to swim there. I learned to swim just a few summers ago with Olympic gold medalist Amanda Beard. She did great, and right after that I went to get scuba certified. I had fun with it. I didn't really get scared, but some people thought that was a risk. ~ Holly Madison
Olympic Hero quotes by Holly Madison
The favorite to win the Olympic gold medal in archery is a legally blind athlete from South Korea, mainly because everyone else is too scared to compete next to him. ~ Jimmy Fallon
Olympic Hero quotes by Jimmy Fallon
Unless you grasp that it requires all the strength of spirit to die, that the hero always dies before his death, you will not come particularly far in your observations on life. ~ Soren Kierkegaard
Olympic Hero quotes by Soren Kierkegaard
Glenn Gould was my hero. Glenn Gould was my idol. I loved him. ~ Warren Zevon
Olympic Hero quotes by Warren Zevon
Well, I think there are no villains in this world. There are just misunderstood heroes. ~ Tom Hiddleston
Olympic Hero quotes by Tom Hiddleston
Dar's been through enough in his life, and his legs are only a small part of it. Don't play with him, Cassie. If you're not serious, leave him the hell alone."

"And if I am serious?"

Sean smiled ruefully. "Then you're in for the fight of your life. ~ Justine Davis
Olympic Hero quotes by Justine Davis
Frog-faced Lord Slynt sat at the end of the council table wearing a black velvet doublet and a shiny cloth-of-gold cape, nodding with approval every time the king pronounced a sentence. Sansa stared hard at his ugly face, remembering how he had thrown down her father for Ser Ilyn to behead, wishing she could hurt him, wishing that some hero would throw him down and cut off his head. But ~ George R R Martin
Olympic Hero quotes by George R R Martin
The Howeitat spread out along the cliffs to return the peasants' fire. This manner of going displeased Auda, the old lion, who raged that a mercenary village folk should dare to resist their secular masters, the Abu Tayi. So he jerked his halter, cantered his mare down the path, and rode out plain to view beneath the easternmost houses of the village. There he reined in, and shook a hand at them, booming in his wonderful voice: 'Dogs, do you not know Auda?' When they realized it was that implacable son of war their hearts failed them, and an hour later Sherif Nasir in the town-house was sipping tea with his guest the Turkish Governor, trying to console him for the sudden change of fortune. ~ T.E. Lawrence
Olympic Hero quotes by T.E. Lawrence
So was I,' said Frodo, 'and so I am. We're going on a bit too fast. You and I, Sam, are still stuck in the worst places of the story, and it is all too likely that some will say at this point: "Shut the book now, dad; we don't want to read any more."' 'Maybe,' said Sam, 'but I wouldn't be one to say that. Things done and over and made into part of the great tales are different. Why, even Gollum might be good in a tale, better than he is to have by you, anyway. And he used to like tales himself once, by his own account. I wonder if he thinks he's the hero or the villain? ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Olympic Hero quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
The day when a person looking at me, and my works will say "Here's my Hero!", that will be my triumph. ~ Jeren Altel
Olympic Hero quotes by Jeren Altel
It's best being a striker. If you miss five then score the winner, you're a hero. The goalkeeper can play a blinder, then let one in ... and he's a villain. ~ Ian Rush
Olympic Hero quotes by Ian Rush
You can be a hero to someone just by being their friend. ~ Ray Rice
Olympic Hero quotes by Ray Rice
Tis as easy to be heroes as to sit the idle slaves. ~ James Russell Lowell
Olympic Hero quotes by James Russell Lowell
What the church most needs is not heroes of faith, but faithful followers of Jesus. ~ Scot McKnight
Olympic Hero quotes by Scot McKnight
Her heart unfolded in her chest, took in all of him, and closed tightly, unwilling to let him go ~ Justine Dell
Olympic Hero quotes by Justine Dell
I am thrilled by the idea of killing myself. It seems like such a gratifyingly noble thing to do. A monster has come to town - me - and there is only one hero who can kill it: me. ~ Caitlin Moran
Olympic Hero quotes by Caitlin Moran
We all live in suspense from day to day; in other words you are the hero of your own story. ~ Mary McCarthy
Olympic Hero quotes by Mary McCarthy
And while I'm on the subject, let me say something about Harry Potter. [Gravels her voice.] Warlocks are enemies of God!! [Back to normal screech.] And I don't care what kind of hero they are, they're an enemy of God. And had it been in the Old Testament, Harry Potter woulda been put to death! [Applause.] You don't make heroes out of warlocks. This is the generation that's gonna stand for purity, an' righteousnesss, an' holiness, an' you're gonna serve the lord all the days of your life. ~ Becky Fischer
Olympic Hero quotes by Becky Fischer
When getting my nose in a book
Cured most things short of school,
It was worth ruining my eyes
To know I could still keep cool,
And deal out the old right hook
To dirty dogs twice my size.
Later, with inch-thick specs,
Evil was just my lark:
Me and my coat and fangs
Had ripping times in the dark.
The women I clubbed with sex!
I broke them up like meringues.
Don't read much now: the dude
Who lets the girl down before
The hero arrives, the chap
Who's yellow and keeps the store
Seem far too familiar. Get stewed:
Books are a load of crap.
(A Study Of Reading Habits) ~ Philip Larkin
Olympic Hero quotes by Philip Larkin
As far as I could tell, the quickest way to a geeky guy's heart usually involved geometric shapes. ~ Angela N. Blount
Olympic Hero quotes by Angela N. Blount
Love is the most powerful motivator in the world. It spurs mortals to greatness. Their noblest and bravest acts are done for love. ~ Rick Riordan
Olympic Hero quotes by Rick Riordan
What I'm trying to say is that you don't understand a man until you understand what makes him do what he does. Every man is a hero in his own story, Princess. ~ Brandon Sanderson
Olympic Hero quotes by Brandon Sanderson
The hero of my tale, whom I love with all the power of my soul, whom I have tried to portray in all his beauty, who has been, is, and will be beautiful, is Truth. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Olympic Hero quotes by Leo Tolstoy
For River to discover himself in Rimbaud's life and Miller's prose was simultaneously self-aggrandizing and self-pitying. Tellingly, he was more interested in Miller's book than in Rimbaud's actual writing: he responded to Rimbaud not as a poet, but as a symbol. ~ Gavin Edwards
Olympic Hero quotes by Gavin Edwards
Hosting the Olympic Games of course guarantees the world's attention, but there is more to it than simply bathing in the global spotlight. Most importantly, host cities can use the opportunity to create a positive and lasting legacy, resulting in both tangible and intangible returns to local communities. ~ Eduardo Paes
Olympic Hero quotes by Eduardo Paes
So you got fired?"
"I quit."
"When I quit the Order, you told me I was besmirched."
"That's because you quit in a huff over some silliness like trying to save people's lives. I quit to maximize my earning potential. Don't you know being a hero is a losing bet? The pay is shit and people hate you for it." Luther looked at Curran. "Who is the male specimen?"
Curran offered Luther his hand. "Lennart."
Luther grabbed Curran's hand and smelled it. "Shapeshifter, feline, probably a lion, but not the run-of-the-mill African Simba. You've got an odd scent about you." He glanced at me. "Why do you always hang out with weirdos? ~ Ilona Andrews
Olympic Hero quotes by Ilona Andrews
My will to live completely overcame my desire to win ~ Alfred Hajos
Olympic Hero quotes by Alfred Hajos
Then you know that Sam was the true hero of the tale,' Sayna said. 'That he faced far greater and more terrible foes than he ever should have had to face, and did so with courage. That he went alone into a black and terrible land, stormed a dark fortress, and resisted the most terrible temptation of his world for the sake of the friend he loved. That in the end, it was his actions and his actions alone that made it possible for light to overcome darkness. ~ Jim Butcher
Olympic Hero quotes by Jim Butcher
I AM RIGHTEOUS!! I'm the hero who's liberating people from fear. I'm the savior who's going to be like a god of this perfect new world! ~ Tsugumi Ohba
Olympic Hero quotes by Tsugumi Ohba
Whoa," says Michael.
"What is it?" I ask.
Michael shakes his head in disbelief. He points at the screen. "Wil Wheaton saw an I Kill the Mockingbird flyer and tweeted about it."
"Wil Wheaton?" I say.
"Wil Wheaton!" Michael says again. "Wil Wheaton!"
"Who is Wil Wheaton?"
"Wil Wheaton!"
"Michael," says Elena, "no matter how many times you say his name we still don't know who you're talking about."
"He's a gamer!" Michael takes the mouse from Elena and clicks on Wil Wheaton's profile. "He's a total geek hero! He's an author and an actor. He used to be on STAR TREK."
I point to the description that Wil Wheaton has written about himself. "It says here that he's just a guy."
"Just a guy who used to be on STAR TREK!" says Michael. ~ Paul Acampora
Olympic Hero quotes by Paul Acampora
I can't let you go. I'll never do that. not until I die. ~ Kresley Cole
Olympic Hero quotes by Kresley Cole
I love to see heroes who fuel some kind of moral furnace inside them, who are driven to take on the evils of the world, despite the fact that the evils of the world are more powerful than them. And essentially can never be defeated, but they refuse to bow down. And in order to enjoy that aspect of the hero, you've got to put them through hell. ~ Neil Cross
Olympic Hero quotes by Neil Cross
The only time I got the absolute most insanely nervous in my life was at the Olympic trials, because archery is a horrible spectator sport. Nobody goes and watches an archery tournament. Because the targets are three-quarters of a football field away. Who can tell who's winning? You can't even see your own target from where you are. ~ Geena Davis
Olympic Hero quotes by Geena Davis
All of us, I suppose, like to believe that in a moral emergency we will behave like the heroes of our youth, bravely and forthrightly, without thought of personal loss or discredit. Certainly that was my conviction back in the summer of 1968. Tim O'Brien: a secret hero. The Lone Ranger. If the stakes ever became high enough - if the evil were evil enough, if the good were good enough - I would simply tap a secret reservoir of courage that had been accumulating inside me over the years. Courage, I seemed to think, comes to us in finite quantities, like an inheritance, and by being frugal and stashing it away and letting it earn interest, we steadily increase our moral capital in preparation for that day when the account must be drawn down. It was a comforting theory. It dispensed with all those bothersome little acts of daily courage; it offered hope and grace to the repetitive coward; it justified the past while amortizing the future. ~ Tim O'Brien
Olympic Hero quotes by Tim O'Brien
Go. Do what you have to do. Be the hero that you are ... but come back to me. There's more to Noah McCall than the head of Last Chance Rescue. I see that man. ... I love them both. Return to me, Noah. Please. - Mara to Noah ~ Christy Reece
