Myths Quotes

All the superhero stuff is Greek myths and Greek gods, wearing tights and capes. That’s what they are. That’s what I gravitate towards Picture Quote #1

The old days of screenwriting, and myths about screenwriting, are maybe over. It’s a literary form, if you can wake up to it Picture Quote #1

As I continue to mature and navigate the world, there are so many myths that are dispelled for me Picture Quote #1

There are so many myths out there about Marianne Faithfull, I had to, um, detach. But I can turn it on because Marianne Faithfull is really an attitude, you know Picture Quote #1

There are more myths about Black Wednesday than the Greeks ever created Picture Quote #1

We tend to think of divorced or complicated families as a modern invention, and that is not at all true. You only have to read the Greek myths to see broken homes, widows, divorce, stepchildren, children trying to get along with new parents Picture Quote #1

I stick closely to the structure of the myths. I may have some fun with the mythology by changing the environment to modern-day, but the structure of the myths, the monsters, the relationships of the gods - none of that is made up Picture Quote #1

I was born and raised in Ohio. During my childhood, I spent most of my time drawing and reading fairy tales and myths Picture Quote #1

One of the myths about Dad was that he was mean. That simply wasn’t true. I always found him generous to a fault but he wasn’t reckless with his money, which was rather rare in Hollywood. He’d grown up with nothing and he wasn’t about to fritter it all away Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, some of us in some things we do know better. When we know better, I think it’s imperative that we do better. Otherwise we’re perpetuating myths that have for centuries done us no good. Men and women alike. No one is exempt from being called into consciousness Picture Quote #1

Today, we know that time travel need not be confined to myths, science fiction, Hollywood movies, or even speculation by theoretical physicists. Time travel is possible. For example, an object traveling at high speeds ages more slowly than a stationary object. This means that if you were to travel into outer space and return, moving close to light speed, you could travel thousands of years into the Earth’s future Picture Quote #1

Every nation-state tends towards the imperial - that is the point. Through banks, armies, secret police, propaganda, courts and jails, treaties, taxes, laws and orders, myths of civil obedience, assumptions of civic virtue at the top Picture Quote #1

We know that acid rain has had no significant environmental effect on trees or forests in the United States... It is based on popular myths and half-baked theories Picture Quote #1

The cinema has done more for my spiritual life than the church. My ideas of fame, success and beauty all originate from the big screen. Whereas Christian religion is retreating everywhere and losing more and more influence; film has filled the vacuum and supports us with myths and action-controlling images Picture Quote #1

I liked myths. They weren’t adult stories and they weren’t children’s stories. They were better than that. They just were Picture Quote #1

Women in Korean myths disappear after giving birth. The reason they were born is to produce sons Picture Quote #1

I fell in love with words in all languages, and I read everything I could find, particularly myths and legends and histories and archeology and any novels Picture Quote #1

Distinctly American poetry is usually written in the context of one’s geographic landscape, sometimes out of one’s cultural myths, and often with reference to gender and race or ethnic origins Picture Quote #1

As I detail in my new book: ‘Hard Measures, How Aggressive CIA Actions After 9/11 Saved American Lives,’ there are many myths surrounding the detention of a relatively small number of top terrorists at CIA-run ‘black sites’ from 2002 until they were sent to Guantanamo Bay in 2006 Picture Quote #1

Does progress mean that we dissolve our ancient myths? If we forget our legends, I fear that we shall close an important door to the imagination Picture Quote #1

Your kindness, beauty, and simplicity remind me the stories about angels, and I was told they are just legends and myths Picture Quote #1

Well, just to dispel all the myths, Walt [Disney] was not anti-Semitic. He was not racist in any way, shape, or form. He was not frozen when his life ended. He’s not in some frozen vault right now waiting to make a big comeback Picture Quote #1

I truly appreciate the special qualities that America and American national myths offer me Picture Quote #1

Millions of Christians can and do go through life attending church, listening to sermons, reciting the creeds and never confront the seeming contradictions, redaction and myths passed off as verifiable history Picture Quote #1

Madonna, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe - they were myths of greatness Picture Quote #1

The outstanding truths of life, the great and unquestioned phenomena of society, are not to be argued away as myths and vagaries when they do not fit within our little moulds. If necessary, we must remake the moulds Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I was obsessed with myths and legends and the haunting beauty of gothic stories Picture Quote #1

We obsess about celebrities. We create them, build myths around them, and then hunt them and destroy them. I don’t know where it’s taking us or what it means, but I know we do it. I have seen a lot of it myself Picture Quote #1

Because of my Marxism, I was not into myths or miracles, whether it was the virgin birth, the physical resurrection or casting out demons from an epileptic Picture Quote #1
