Famous quotes containing the word myth:

    “Myth is the hidden part of every story, the buried part, the region that is still unexplored because there are as yet no words to enable us to get there.... Myth is nourished by silence as well as by words.”
    —Italo Calvino (1923–1985)

    “By blood we live, the hot, the cold,
    To ravage and redeem the world:
    There is no bloodless myth will hold.”
    —Geoffrey Hill (b. 1932)
