Famous quotes containing the words finnish and/or mythology:

    “A conversation in English in Finnish and in French can not be held at the same time nor with indifference ever or after a time.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
    —George Steiner (b. 1929)
