“Mythology: the body of a primitive
people's beliefs, concerning its origin, early history,
heroes, deities and so forth, as distinguished from the
true accounts which it invents later.”
-- Ambrose Bierce 
"It is the part of
men to fear and tremble when the most mighty gods by tokens
send such dreadful heralds to astonish
us."
-- William Shakespeare 
“A one sentence
definition of mythology? "Mythology" is what we call
someone else's
religion”
-- Joseph Campbell 
"In all the antique
religions, Mythology takes the place of
dogma."
-- William Robertson Smith | |||
"I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike, founded on fables and Mythology." -- Thomas Jefferson 
"A myth is an image in
terms of which we try to make sense of the
world."
-- Alan Watts 
"I believe that
imagination is stronger than knowledge... myth is more
potent than history... dreams are more powerful than
facts... hope always triumphs over experience... laughter
is the cure for grief... and love is stronger than
death."
