"I think there are good men and women in all decades. We've grown cynical. And look at what we do to all our heroes: Churchill, FDR, Kennedy, they all had affairs. But heroic things happen every day"

This quote by Kevin Costner talks to the idea that we have actually ended up being too negative in our society. We tend to focus on the defects of our heroes, such as Churchill, FDR, and Kennedy, and forget about the heroic things they have done. Costner is suggesting that we should not be so fast to judge and that there are good individuals in all years. He is also suggesting that brave things happen every day, and that we ought to take the time to recognize and appreciate them. We should not be so quick to evaluate and need to instead focus on the excellent that individuals do. We should not forget that there are great individuals in all years, which heroic things take place every day.
