Quotes by T. Alan Horne  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“A hero is a slave to his public image. To stay a hero, the world requires you to support their ever-changing notions of right and wrong. You’re not allowed to come to your own conclusions. You cannot have your own ideas of good and evil. If you follow your own conscience even once,
you get crucified. All the love the world promised you vanishes, and they hate you worse than any villain”
T. Alan Horne, Advent 9

“If you save a million people, you’ll still be a murderer.”
T. Alan Horne, Advent 9

“Sometimes the world needs to be hurt. Sometimes the wrong people have power. Sometimes the few must be sacrificed to rescue the many. And sometimes a little wickedness is the only righteous choice. That’s where you’ve always
failed, boy. Good guys are bad at making tough choices.”
T. Alan Horne, Advent 9
