Once again, my hero. And here I’m supposed to be the one saving him.

About This Quote

When Superman was about to fall to his apparent demise, Lois Lane said "Once again my hero. And here I'm supposed to be the one saving him." She was attempting to save him, but she herself did not make a difference in the end. We all have our lives and careers where we believe we are going to make a difference. We all have heroes who help us make a difference.

But, in the end, it is usually our responsibility to save ourselves. In other words, it is our responsibility to live our lives and live them well. We must save ourselves from ourselves and from others who do not see us as heroes or who do not appreciate how noble we are.
