Pan/mythology

Famous quotes containing the words pan and/or mythology:

“I can’t accept “our nervous age,” since mankind has been nervous during every age. Whoever fears nervousness should turn into a sturgeon or smelt; if a sturgeon makes a stupid mistake, it can only be one: to end up on a hook, and then in a pan in a pastry shell.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“Through the mythology of Einstein, the world blissfully regained the image of knowledge reduced to a formula.”
