Famous quotes containing the words metaphysics and/or mythology:

    “Poetry is essentially the antithesis of Metaphysics: Metaphysics purge the mind of the senses and cultivate the disembodiment of the spiritual; Poetry is all passionate and feeling and animates the inanimate; Metaphysics are most perfect when concerned with universals; Poetry, when most concerned with particulars.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    “One may as well preach a respectable mythology as anything else.”
    —Humphrey, Mrs. Ward (1851–1920)
