![“I don't want to be considered a hero… Imagine [if] young people would grow up with the feeling that you have to be a hero to do your human duty. I am afraid nobody would ever help other people, because who is a hero? I was not. I was just an ordinary housewife and secretary.” quote by Miep Gies](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9ec/miep-gies-32151_duty_i-don-t-want-to-be-considered-a-hero-ima_207762.jpg)
