Being a hero

In Gulliver's Travels 3D, Horatio told Gulliver that because he hasn't done anything valiant, he cannot court the princess.

Like the valiant knight who slays dragons for his princess, we men can show our partner that she is our one true love.

The whole point, it seems to me, of being a hero, of winning a prize, is to have someone to win for. a loved one with whom to share my success long after the tumult and shouting dies. Someone to offer us lasting applause. that, I think, is what makes he effort worthwhile and complete.
