Javier Cercas Quote

Comportamiento de un héroe hay casi siempre algo ciego, irracional, instintivo, algo que está en su naturaleza y a lo que no puede escapar. Además, se puede ser una persona decente durante toda una vida, pero no se puede ser sublime sin interrupción, y por eso el héroe sólo lo es excepcionalmente, en un momento o, a lo sumo, en una temporada de locura o inspiración.
