"I don't want to be considered a hero. Imagine 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." -- Miep Gies who hid the family of Anne Frank from the Nazis (b. 1909-02-15, d. 2010-01-11)
