Famous quotes containing the words pagan and/or myths:
“There is something Pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“... suffering does not ennoble. It destroys. To resist destruction, self-hatred, or lifelong hopelessness, we have to throw off the conditioning of being despised, the fear of becoming the they that is talked about so dismissively, to refuse lying myths and easy moralities, to see ourselves as human, flawed, and extraordinary. All of us—extraordinary.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
