Famous quotes containing the words spoken, word and/or myths:
“Morning has broken like the first morning,
blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them, springing, fresh from the Word!”
—Eleanor Farjeon (1881–1965)
“The higher a man stands, the more the word “vulgar” becomes unintelligible to him.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“The myths have always condemned those who “looked back.” Condemned them, whatever the paradise may have been which they were leaving. Hence this shadow over each departure from your decision.”
—Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)
