- Tom Robbins99◆ Nights through dreams tell the myths forgotten by the day.
- C.G. Jung99◆ When he, whoever of the gods it was, had thus arranged in order and resolved that chaotic mass, and reduced it, thus resolved, to cosmic parts, he first moulded the Earth into the form of a mighty ball so that it might be of like form on every side … And, that no region might be without its own forms of animate life, the stars and divine forms occupied the floor of heaven, the sea fell to the shining fishes for their home, Earth received the beasts, and the mobile air the birds … Then Man was born:… though all other animals are prone, and fix their gaze upon the earth, he gave to Man an uplifted face and bade him stand erect and turn his eyes to heaven.
- Ovid99◆ Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back.
- Criss Jami99◆ Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.
- Joseph Campbell99◆ Rest in Peace?' Why that phrase? That's the most ridiculous phrase I've ever heard! You die, and they say ‘Rest in Peace!' …Why would one need to ‘rest' when they're dead?! I spent thousands of years of world history resting. While Agamemnon was leading his ships to Troy, I was resting. While Ovid was seducing women at the chariot races, I was resting. While Jeanne d'Arc was hallucinating, I was resting. I wait until airplanes are scuttling across the sky to burst out onto the scene, and I'm only going to be here for a short while, so when I die, I certainly won't need to rest again! Not while more adventures of the same kind are going on.
- Roman Payne99◆ A totally nondenominational prayer: Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that I be forgiven for anything I may have done or failed to do which requires forgiveness.? Conversely, if not forgiveness but something else may be required to insure any possible benefit for which I may be eligible after the destruction of my body, I ask that this, whatever it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case may be, in such a manner as to insure said benefit. I ask this in my capacity as your elected intermediary between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but which may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as much as it is possible for you to receive of this thing, and which may in some way be influenced by this ceremony. Amen.
- Roger Zelazny99◆ Mythology is not a lie, mythology is poetry, it is metaphorical. It has been well said that mythology is the penultimate truth--penultimate because the ultimate cannot be put into words. It is beyond words. Beyond images, beyond that bounding rim of the Buddhist Wheel of Becoming. Mythology pitches the mind beyond that rim, to what can be known but not told.
- Joseph Campbell99◆ Zeus, first cause, prime mover; for what thing without Zeus is done among mortals?
- Aeschylus99◆ Did you recently turn into a jerk or have you been one since birth?
- Priya Ardis99◆ Time, which sees all things, has found you out.
- Sophocles99◆ Do I look like I want to be involved in your teen love saga? Ask someone who cares.
- Priya Ardis99◆ You become mature when you become the authority of your own life.
- Joseph Campbell99◆ Why did you wear heels? How are you supposed to fight a gargoyle in what you're wearing?
- Priya Ardis99◆ Lady, I was gonna cut you some slack, 'cause you're a major mythological figure...but now you've just gone nuts!
- Mike Mignola99
