Famous quotes containing the words raising and/or hope:
“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“To many men much-wandering hope comes as a boon, but to many others it is the deception of vain desires.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
