Myth Quotes

Wherever a story comes from, whether it is a familiar myth or a private memory, the retelling exemplifies the making of a connection from one pattern to another: a potential translation in which narrative becomes parable and the once upon a time comes to stand for some renascent truth. This approach applies to all the incidents of everyday life: the phrase in the newspaper, the endearing or infuriating game of a toddler, the misunderstanding at the office. Our species thinks in metaphors and learns through stories Picture Quote #1

If something controls you in a way that puzzles you, think of it as a mystery. Mysteries are best approached by closing your eyes and mouth to experience darkness and silence. I find new and healing images in that dark, silent place away from emotions that control me. Do not be afraid to close your eyes and be silent in prayer, meditation, rest or sleep. In those states you may rediscover a new self. Then your life, time and thoughts will become yours again and you can live your unique myth Picture Quote #1

There’s the whole myth about rocket science. It’s really not that hard. It’s not brain surgery Picture Quote #1

I think objectivity is like this strange myth that people think you’re supposed to achieve, but actually, the dirty little secret is that it’s not attainable any more than pure justice is attainable by the courts Picture Quote #1

A too often forgotten truth is that you can live through actual events of history and completely miss the underlying reality of what’s going. What history misses, the myth clearly expresses. The myth in the hands of a genius give us a clear picture of the inner import of life itself Picture Quote #1

Bands that I’ve loved over the years are the ones that have a certain myth around them Picture Quote #1

What a myth never contains is the critical power to separate its truth from its errors Picture Quote #1

Any work that is not rooted in myth and poetry or that does not partake of the depth and essence of the universe is merely a ghost Picture Quote #1

Writing: I certainly do rewrite my central myth in every book, and would never read or trust any writer who did not also do so Picture Quote #1

One of the great inventions of the twentieth century was the studied, methodical engineering of myth for political ends Picture Quote #1

The final greatness of the presidency lies in the truth that it is not just an office of incredible power but a breeding ground of indestructible myth Picture Quote #1

Over the centuries we have transformed the ancient myths and folk tales and made them into the fabric of our lives. Consciously and unconsciously we weave the narratives of myth and folk tale into our daily existence Picture Quote #1

I’d like to dispel the myth that when you put a wedding ring on a woman, her brain stops Picture Quote #1

Peasants have believed in dowsing, and scientists used to believe that dowsing was only a belief of peasants. Now there are so many scientists who believe in dowsing that the suspicion comes to me that it may only be a myth after all Picture Quote #1

To captivate our varied and worldwide audience of all ages, the nature and treatment of the fairy tale, the legend, the myth have to be elementary, simple. Good and evil, the antagonists of all great drama in some guise, must be believably personalized. The moral ideals common to all humanity must be upheld. The victories must not be too easy. Strife to test valor is still and will always be the basic ingredient of the animated tale, as of all screen entertainments Picture Quote #1

Christmas is fun anyway. It’s a myth organized over the years and gained different mythological qualities as the years go by Picture Quote #1

The idea that beauty is unimportant or a cultural construct is the real beauty myth. We have to understand beauty, or we will always be enslaved by it Picture Quote #1

When you’re living in the moment, you’re living in the moment; whatever that moment is, that’s your reality. Everything else is a myth Picture Quote #1

The relative ease of most driving lures us into thinking we can get away with doing other things. Indeed, those other things, like listening to the radio, can help when driving itself is threatening to cause fatigue. But we buy into the myth of multitasking with little actual knowledge of how much we can really add in or, as with the television news, how much we are missing. As the inner life of the driver begins to come into focus, it is becoming clear not only that distraction is the single biggest problem on the road but that we have little concept of just how distracted we are Picture Quote #1

People a lot of times say that you know it must be hard to direct yourself. That’s a myth. It’s easier to direct yourself. There’s no middle man, you know Picture Quote #1

Even when the facts are available, most people seem to prefer the legend, and refuse to believe the truth when it in any way dislodges the myth Picture Quote #1

It’s a myth that if you’re liked by only four people it must be good. It might also be very bad: they might be your mother, your brother, your uncle and your aunt Picture Quote #1

Those who claim absolutism is merely a myth are right that it has been misused simply as a byword for political centralisation Picture Quote #1

Some batters, and good ones too, scoff at the whole theory of place hitting, calling it a myth. They are wrong, however Picture Quote #1

As the ancient myth makers knew, we are children equally of the earth and the sky Picture Quote #1

Heraldry is the fusion of fact and fancy, myth and manner, romance and reality. It is an exuberant union of family, art, and history Picture Quote #1

Nothing endures unless it has first been transposed into a myth, and the great advantage of myths is that they are ladies with portable roots Picture Quote #1

As long as the family and the myth of the family... have not been destroyed, women will still be oppressed Picture Quote #1

The unconscious of an artist is her greatest treasure. It is what transmutes the dross of autobiography into the gold of myth Picture Quote #1

Myth, legend, and ritual... function to maintain a status quo. That makes them singularly bad in coping with change, indeed counterproductive, for change is the enemy of myth Picture Quote #1
