The idea that we live in a post-modern culture is a myth. In fact a post-modern culture is an impossibility it would be utterly unlivable. Nobody is a post-modernist when it comes to reading the labels on a medicine bottle versus a box of rat poison! You better believe that texts have objective meaning!
William Lane Craig

Albert Camus

The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.
Albert Camus

Belief in a certain series of myths was neither obligatory as a part of the true religion, nor was it supposed that, by believing, a man acquired religious merit and conciliated the favour of the gods.
William Robertson Smith
Image
I have suggested that behind almost all myth lies the mono-plot of the game of hide-and-seek.
Alan Watts

The myths underlying our culture and underlying our common sense have not taught us to feel identical with the universe, but only parts of it, only in it, only confronting it - aliens.
Alan Watts
Image
Scientists have long known that Darwinism is false. They have adhered to the myth out of self-interest and a zealous desire to put down God.
Phillip E. Johnson
Image
Ritual and myth are like seed crystals of new patterns that can eventually reshape culture around them.

Pure science is a myth: Both mathematical theoreticians like Albert Einstein and practical crackpots like Henry Ford dealt with different aspects of the same world.
Edward Abbey
Image
Something fundamental about the myth of the Jew has resurfaced.
Steven T. Katz
Image
I know I'm not a coal miner, but I do long hours and I never complain, and there is nowhere else I'd rather be. So, yeah, that's how I'd define myself. I want to do it right, and prove people wrong once and for all about the myth of child stars.
Daniel Radcliffe
