Famous quotes containing the words spoken, word and/or myths:
“Whatever is spoken of acquires a certain existence.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I do not correct my first imaginings by my second—well, yes, perhaps a word or so, but only to vary, not to delete. I want to represent the course of my humors and I want people to see each part at its birth.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Two myths must be shattered: that of the evil stepparent . . . and the myth of instant love, which places unrealistic demands on all members of the blended family. . . . Between the two opposing myths lies reality. The recognition of reality is, I believe, the most important step toward the building of a successful second family.”
—Claire Berman (20th century)
