Famous quotes containing the words japanese and/or mythology:

    “The Japanese have perfected good manners and made them indistinguishable from rudeness.”
    —Paul Theroux (b. 1941)

    “The Anglo-American can indeed cut down, and grub up all this waving forest, and make a stump speech, and vote for Buchanan on its ruins, but he cannot converse with the spirit of the tree he fells, he cannot read the poetry and mythology which retire as he advances. He ignorantly erases mythological tablets in order to print his handbills and town-meeting warrants on them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
