Famous quotes containing the words person and/or adventure:
“Eulogy. Praise of a person who has either the advantages of wealth and power, or the consideration to be dead.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“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)
