Mythology Quotes

I’m really proud of being part of that whole geek/chic, girl nerds, glasses are sexy and all of that because I think it’s true.

And I love being the alternative to that Picture Quote #1

Mythology is a set of primitive lies that people rarely believe. This is rather different from history, which is a set of lies that people actually believe Picture Quote #1

I love reading all kinds of books. I usually have about ten books going at any one time - books about the past, the present, novels, non-fiction, poetry, mythology, religion, etc. Reading is my favorite thing to do Picture Quote #1

Don’t buy into the corporate mythology that’s been rammed down our throats for all these years Picture Quote #1

I would never call myself a cancer survivor because I think it devalues those who do not survive. There’s this whole mythology that people bravely battle their cancer and then they become survivors.

I’ve loved fairytales, folklore and mythology since I was a small child, and I think it was inevitable that they would influence my style and my development of stories Picture Quote #1

I go back and research, say, every reference to the Gorgons, and I find what the classical writers said about them and it’s so much richer than you might get in an average Greek mythology text. I feel like an archaeologist - I’m dusting off these things that people have not seen for thousands of years and bringing them into the modern world Picture Quote #1

I used mythology to tell the story [in Living with Love], with the story of the minotaur and the matador and fighting and fighting for love and the color red and flowers and horns and death and naked men. You know, the important things in life Picture Quote #1

I can say pretty confidently that I am not the right guy to do a superhero movie, just because I was not a comic book kid. I don’t know that mythology, and I don’t have it ingrained in me in the way that a lot of these other directors do Picture Quote #1

Presumably all obsessions are extreme metaphors waiting to be born. That whole private mythology, in which I believe totally, is a collaboration between one’s conscious mind and those obsessions that, one by one, present themselves as stepping-stones Picture Quote #1

The mystery of light [and] the enigma of time form the twin pivots around which all my work revolves. In addition... my work attempts to create a mythology for our contemporary world Picture Quote #1

I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell’s notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we’re close to that Picture Quote #1

For Gore 2000, I was a formal campaign adviser: contrary to RNC mythology, my brief was not ‘wardrobe,’ but rather policy on women’s issues, and messaging.
