About This Quote
The men history declares heroes are merely heroes because they failed to survive their benevolent acts. This quote can be interpreted in many ways. It says that people who are declared heroic by history are not the real heroes, but rather people who would live on after them. If these people don’t live on after them, they aren’t necessarily considered heroic.
The writers of the quote also imply that there is something more to being a hero than just surviving without your ideals. That, perhaps, is the true definition of heroism.
