Famous quotes containing the words history and/or mythology:

    “Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “This is the frost coming out of the ground; this is Spring. It precedes the green and flowery spring, as mythology precedes regular poetry. I know of nothing more purgative of winter fumes and indigestions. It convinces me that Earth is still in her swaddling-clothes, and stretches forth baby fingers on every side.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
