About This Quote
If the world is a book, are you the hero, or just a walk-on part? This quote is very true. Whether you are a hero or just a part of the story that happens to be playing out, there are always other people who are more important than you. So, what does this mean? Well, it means that you have to take the role of being the hero. Sometimes it is hard to think about being the hero because you feel so small. But, if you do not try, then no one else will step up to be one.
