It sounds cliched, but superheroes can be lonely, vain, arrogant and proud. Often they overcome these human frailties for the greater good. Tom Hiddleston
Miguel de Cervantes quote: "The bow cannot always stand bent, nor can human frailty..."
The bow cannot always stand bent, nor can human frailty subsist without some lawful recreation. Miguel de Cervantes
Right and wrong becomes more difficult for each of us as we grow older, because the older we get the more we know personally about our own human frailties. Blanche Lincoln
We have seen that in this country in the last few years, particularly on Wall Street, with the rise of the old human frailty of greed. This occurs when people begin to serve only their own needs to the detriment of everyone else. Lee R. Raymond
Actors in any capacity, artists of any stripe, are inspired by their curiosity, by their desire to explore all quarters of life, in light and in dark, and reflect what they find in their work. Artists instinctively want to reflect humanity, their own and each other's, in all its intermittent virtue and vitality, frailty and fallibility. Tom Hiddleston
