Sitting/mythology

Famous quotes containing the words sitting and/or mythology:

“I’m sitting here like Sis cat, washing my face and usin’ my manners.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

“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)
