Edward Cline quote ✍️

Quote

A boy adopts a hero for two reasons: because a hero captivates his soul and serves as a projection of his innermost self; and, because a hero seems to have solved many problems that may worry a boy, or at least demonstrates the capacity to solve them. The hero is an idealization of successful living, even though he may die in a story. The death may be gallant, brave, tragic, or perhaps even foolhardy. But living or dead, a hero is the stylistic embodiment of living on one’s own terms — noble terms, grand terms, exciting terms — terms, in short, that complement any youth’s uncorrupted, untamed, unabridged projection of what is possible to him in life
