Neil Bogart (1943–1982) American music executive

Neil Bogart, quoted in Loose Talk: The Book of Quotes from the Pages of Rolling Stone Magazine, 1990.

“The truth of war is not always easy. The truth is always more heroic than the hype.”

Jessica Lynch (1983) Recipient of the Purple Heart medal

Her final statement has also been quoted in news reports as "The truth of war is not always easy to hear but it is always more heroic than the hype".
Congressional testimony (2007)
Context: My hero is every American who says "My country needs me" and answers that call to fight. I had the good fortune and opportunity to come home and to tell the truth; many soldiers, like Pat Tillman... did not have that opportunity. The truth of war is not always easy. The truth is always more heroic than the hype.

“When we have passed beyond individualising, then we shall be real Persons. Ego was the helper; Ego is the bar.”

Sri Aurobindo (1872–1950) Indian nationalist, freedom fighter, philosopher, yogi, guru and poet

Thoughts and Glimpses (1916-17)

“The ego tends to put itself above everything that is philosophically corrupt and destructive. Can we accept the idea that the ego must accept the consequences of what it has done? It must take responsibility for the motive behind it. If that motive is virtue and goodness, then we have placed the ego in the right proportion. But on the contrary, if it denies the human traits that collectively uphold moral ethics, law, justice and honesty, then it will easily fall into the hole that it has dug for itself.”
