Myth is the facts of the mind made manifest in a fiction of matter.
Maya Deren
Image
Myths, by their definition, involve transformations, struggles through various worlds or layers of reality and of obscuration.
Anne Waldman
Image
Myths and creeds are heroic struggles to comprehend the truth in the world.
Ansel Adams
Image
Mythology works... because Indians have been bred on myths.
Ashwin Sanghi
Image
Myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of the human life.
Joseph Campbell
Image
Myths are so intimately bound to culture, time, and place that unless the symbols, the metaphors, are kept alive by constant recreation through the arts, the life just slips away from them.
Joseph Campbell
Image
Myth is someone else's religion.
Caroline Llewellyn
Image
Myths are fun, as long as you don't confuse them with the truth.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Myth expresses in terms of the world - that is, of the other world or the second world - the understanding that man has of himself in relation to the foundation and the limit of his existence.
Paul Ricoeur
Image
Mythology is the mother of religions, and grandmother of history.
Zsuzsanna Budapest
Image
Myths which are believed in tend to become true.
George Orwell
Image
Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.
Joseph Campbell
Image
Myths often do a lot of theoretical good, while they are still new.
Gilbert Ryle
Image
Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths. We must be willing to get rid of the life we planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. I have bought this wonderful machine — a computer ... it seems to me to be an Old Testament god, with a lot of rules and no mercy.
Joseph Campbell
Image
Myth is, after all, the neverending story.
Joan D. Vinge
Image
Myth does not want to be interpreted in cosmological terms but in anthropological terms or, better, in existentialist terms.
Rudolf Bultmann
Image
Myths are seldom simple, and never irresponsible.
Robert Graves
Image
Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of 'the rat race' is not yet final.
Hunter S. Thompson
Image
Myths hook and bind the mind because at the same time they set the mind free: they explain the universe while allowing the universe to go on being unexplained and we seem to need this even now, in our twentieth-century grandeur.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Myths are made for the imagination to breath life into them.
Albert Camus
Image
Myths are stories about people who become too big for their lives temporarily, so that they crash into other lives or brush against gods. In crisis their souls are visible.
Anne Carson
Image
Myths are early science, the result of men's first trying to explain what they saw around them.
Edith Hamilton
Image
Myth is a tale once believed as truth believed, it is not myth, but religion. A tale once religiously believed that has come to be called a myth is something of religion corrupted with disbelief. What are beliefs for some societies but myths for others cannot fill spiritual vacancies in the life of those others.
Laura Riding
Image
Myths that need clarification: No matter how many times you see the Grand canyon, you are still emotionally moved to tears. False. It depends on how many children the out-of-towners brought with them who kicked the back of your seat from Phoenix to Flagstaff and got their gum caught in your hair.
