Myth Quotes

God is, to me, pretty much a myth created over time to deny the idea that we’re all responsible for our own actions Picture Quote #1

My research debunks the myth that many people seem to have... that you become a leader by fighting your way to the top. Rather, you become a leader by helping others to the top. Helping your employees is as important, and many times more so, than trying to get the most work out of them Picture Quote #1

We are still conditioning people in this country and, indeed, all over the globe to the myth of white superiority. We are constantly being told that we don’t have racism in this country anymore, but most of the people who are saying that are white. White people think it isn’t happening because it isn’t happening to them Picture Quote #1

As soon as a woman’s primary social value could no longer be defined as the attainment of virtuous domesticity, the beauty myth redefined it as the attainment of virtuous beauty. It did so to substitute both a new consumer imperative and a new justification for economic unfairness in the workplace where the old ones had lost their hold over newly liberated women Picture Quote #1

For me, there was no great myth around the movies when I was a young child. My father was very simple about the whole thing. He did not consider cinema an art. Cinema was entertainment. Literature and music were art Picture Quote #1

Today our duty is to destroy the myth of evolution, considered as a simple, understood, and explained phenomenon which keeps rapidly unfolding before us. Biologists must be encouraged to think about the weaknesses and extrapolations that theoreticians put forward or lay down as established truths. The deceit is sometimes unconscious, but not always, since some people, owing to their sectarianism, purposely overlook reality and refuse to acknowledge the inadequacies and falsity of their beliefs Picture Quote #1

Insights from myth, dreams, and intuitions, from glimpses of an invisible reality, and from perennial human wisdom provide us with hints and guesses about the meaning of life and what we are here for. Prayer, observance, discipline, thought and action are the means through which we grow and find meaning Picture Quote #1

The important thing is to make a different world, to make a world that is not now. A real world, a genuine world, but one that allows myth to live. The myth is everything Picture Quote #1

If you look at the heroes of antiquity and myth, they all have flaws. It’s something that they have to overcome; their flaws are something that they have to act in spite of. The challenge is not to defy your fate, but to endure it. That is heroic Picture Quote #1

That shoreline where the island of knowing meets the unfathomable sea of our own being is the landscape of myth Picture Quote #1

It is only myth that attempts to say how the universe came to be, either four thousand or twenty billion years ago Picture Quote #1

As a child I became a confirmed believer in the ancient gods simply because as between the reality of fact and the reality f myth, I chose myth... Myth is the truth of fact, not fact the truth of myth Picture Quote #1

The myth is a surviving fragment of the psychic life of the infancy of the race whilst the dream is the myth of the individual Picture Quote #1

We must... forge partnerships with those around us, and begin to dismantle the myth of solitary perfection Picture Quote #1

You call a star a star, and say it is just a ball of matter moving on a mathematical course. But that is merely how you see it. By so naming things and describing them you are only inventing your own terms about them. And just as speech is invention about objects and ideas, so myth is invention about truth Picture Quote #1

One the one hand, our economists treat human beings as rational actors making choices to maximize their own economic benefit. On the other hand, the same companies that hire those economists also pay for advertising campaigns that use the raw materials of myth and magic to encourage people to act against their own best interests, whether it’s a matter of buying overpriced fizzy sugar water or the much more serious matter of continuing to support the unthinking pursuit of business as usual in the teeth of approaching disaster Picture Quote #1

This is the power of myth: that we can experience invisible spiritual realities and truths greater than visible, material things in story form Picture Quote #1

Contrary to popular myth, werewolves myth, werewolves are born, not made. No matter how many times they bite someone, that person will not turn, though they will probably bleed profusely and will definitely be annoyed Picture Quote #1

I did not practice hours a day for eighteen years to have my success attributed to a myth Picture Quote #1

What passes relentlessly through the years is blood, and time; all the bitterness or warmth along the way is almost incidental. Even blood gets forgotten eventually, bleached into myth which are bleached of all colour into ashes of myth Picture Quote #1

The only thing on my mind is getting into that ring and destroying a boxing myth, someone who has reached a level of infamy through doing a number of stupid things Picture Quote #1

Just because something is told as a story and that story is part legend or myth, or feat of imagination, does not mean there is no truth in it Picture Quote #1

Creativity is simply the human brain forming new connections between ideas, and we all are engaged in this process every day. The common idea that there are some people who are creative and some who are not is a myth. On some level, we are all artists. We are all creators Picture Quote #1

It is easy to imagine fantasy as physical and myth as real. We do it almost every moment. We do this as we dream, as we think, and as we cope with the world about us. But these worlds of fantasy that we form into the solid things around us are the source of our discontent. They inspire our search to find ourselves Picture Quote #1

Although they like to call themselves journalists, that’s a myth even they don’t really believe anymore. They’re mutts on short leashes Picture Quote #1

Urban nature is like living with mass conditions. It sometimes feels like a myth and you are its scribe Picture Quote #1

The idea that trials are a search for the truth is just a myth. Trials are a search for that which the jury will believe is the truth Picture Quote #1

Liberals and conservatives are opponents in the most literal sense, each using the myth of pure evil to demonize the other side and unite there own Picture Quote #1

The myth of the strong black woman is the other side of the coin of the myth of the beautiful dumb blonde Picture Quote #1

There can’t be a pure myth, especially when the myth has been handed down in the oral tradition. As the stories are told, they change. If the stories don’t change they just die Picture Quote #1
