Is this Terry Pratchett again? I think I recognize this.

Well, I can't get all of them at the moment. So far I have:
5 crucial
6 moment
7 tended
9 questions
10 what
11 purpose
12 life
13 lacked

It is indeed Pratchett, but I'm not going to reveal the answer just yet. (Your answers thus far look right, though)

And 4 is heroes.

And 1 and 2 are Natural Selection

And 8 is themselves.

Also, I think #3 is professional.

Natural selection saw to it that professional heroes who at a crucial moment tended to ask themselves questions like "What is my purpose in life?" very quickly lacked both.

Yay! A team effort.

And enough with the Pratchett quotes already!
