One can easily classify all works of fiction either as descendants of the Iliad or of the Odyssey.
Raymond Queneau
Image
It doesn't seem to me that anyone has discovered much that's new since the Iliad or the Odyssey.
Raymond Queneau
Image
The Odyssey is the story of someone who, in the course of diverse experiences, acquires a personality or affirms and recovers his personality.
Raymond Queneau
Image
I touch your book and dream of our odyssey in the supermarket and feel absurd.
Allen Ginsberg
Image
I think songwriters are more related to fiction writers. The Odyssey was a story in song. To me, that's so beautiful, all those painted characters, all those travels and adventures.
Regina Spektor
Image
I was more worn out with the Odyssey than it was with the Iliad. I mean, just comparing those two - you can see how it's changing, how the language of the Iliad is somehow monstrously new - and that language of the Odyssey is more comfortable, even for us.

I think it was lucky that during most of the work on the Odyssey I lived on Homer's sea in houses that were, in one case, shaken by the impact of the Mediterranean winter storms on the rocks below.
Robert Fitzgerald

The Odyssey is the story of motion both purposeful and purposeless, successful and futile. What else is the history of law?
Bernhard Schlink
Image
A genuine odyssey is not about piling up experiences. It is a deeply felt, risky, unpredictable tour of the soul.
Thomas Moore

As a scholar who regularly surveys archival material, I think that, a century from now, cultural historians will find David Horowitz's spiritual and political odyssey paradigmatic for our time.
Camille Paglia
Image
I suppose I'd have to say that my favourite author is Homer. After Homer's Ilaid, I'd name The Odyssey, and then I'd mention a number of plays of Euripides.
William Golding
Image
Poems are language turned into art sound and sense matter they can be as long or longer than The Odyssey or as short or shorter than a haiku. Not very helpful.
Campbell McGrath
Image
No ancient story, not even Homer's Iliad or Odyssey, has remained as popular through the course of time. The story of Rama appears as old as civilization and has a fresh appeal for every generation.
David Frawley
Image
Writing to me is a voyage, an odyssey, a discovery, because I'm never certain of precisely what I will find.
Gabriel Fielding
Image
I read the Odyssey because it was the story of a man who returned home after being absent for more than twenty years and was recognized only by his dog.
Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Image
In A Life In Books, author and graphic design visionary Warren Lehrer crafts a vivid kaleidoscopic odyssey that frames one man’s life through not one, but one hundred different books—and book jackets... An unmistakably modern evocation of the illuminated manuscript.
Jessica Helfand
Image
The trip was to be an odyssey in the fullest sense of the word, an epic journey that would change everything.
Jon Krakauer
Image
I was horrified in high school by the fate of the hanged maids at the end of the Odyssey it seemed unfair to me, even then.
Margaret Atwood
Image
My odyssey to become an astronaut kind of started in grad school, and I was working, up at MIT, in space robotics-related work human and robot working together.
Michael J. Massimino
Image
I practiced on the greatest model of storytelling we've got, which is The Iliad and The Odyssey. I told those stories many, many times.
Philip Pullman
Image
All confessions are Odysseys.
Raymond Queneau
Image
The Odyssey is the story of Americans up to the point where they are well-established, and even so it is detached from the historical side.
Raymond Queneau
Image
Ulysses finds himself unchanged, aside from his experience, at the end of his odyssey.
Raymond Queneau
Image
That particular odyssey is now over. My mind is now at rest.
