Give me a flawed hero -- who can't help but do the right thing, no matter what -- every time.
“Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to see, to find, and not to yield.” - Alfred Lord Tennyson (died: 6 October 1892)
