Behind every great man Quote by B. Mauritz
““Cedric: “I can think of another reason not to be the hero. Every hero has to sacrifice the one he loves. I don’t have that in me.” Saphira: “Who says you can’t be a hero when you have a heroine by your side. I believe the saying is that behind every great man there’s a great woman.” Cedric: “You’ll never stand behind me, Saphira. You will always be right by my side.””
