Sitting/mythology

Famous quotes containing the words sitting and/or mythology:

“I was only sitting here in my white study
with the awful black words pushing me around.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
