"I need a hero!
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight."
— Bonnie Tyler, "Holding Out For A Hero"
I'm gonna win, trust in me
I've come to save this world
And in the end I'll get the girl!
— Machinae Supremacy, "Hero"
I want a hero, an uncommon want,
When every year and month sends forth a new one,
'Til, after cloying the gazettes with cant,
The age discovers he is not
the true one. Of such as these I should not care to vaunt.
I'll therefore take our ancient friend
Don Juan. You all have seen him in the pantomime,
Sent to the Devil somewhat ere his time.
