Limb Regeneration

Famous quotes containing the words limb and/or regeneration:

“You really were a panther, a wild-cat,
who tore me limb from limb;
my thanks for that.”

“Typically, the hero of the fairy tale achieves a domestic, microcosmic triumph, and the hero of myth a world-historical, macrocosmic triumph. Whereas the former—the youngest or despised child who becomes the master of extraordinary powers—prevails over his personal oppressors, the latter brings back from his adventure the means for the regeneration of his society as a whole.”
—Joseph Campbell (1904–1987)
