Jaime Zevallos: Father Delgado

Quotes 

• Father Delgado : Now as the audience, naturally we wanna see our heroes at their best. We root for them to save us all. To pull themselves out of their downward spiral. But sometimes the allure of the downward spiral is too strong. Sometimes our heroes are too weak. When that goes down, one of two things can happen: We either witness the death of our hero, or we realize we've been front row to the origin of something else. The birth of a villain.

• Father Delgado : Heroes make mistakes because we do. They do things they regret because we do. And like most any story told, myth is a mirror. One we hold up to see ourselves more clearly. But that is the catch-22 of the human condition. The inability to see ourselves for who we are. We can often only do it through someone else's eyes. And when we do, we may not like what they see. So as we watch the rise and fall of our heroes, the question we ask should not be, will they be greater? Can they ascend? No. When that rubber hits the road, and that tire blows, the question we should ask is, will *we* be greater? Can we ascend?
