I do not know who first invented the
myth of sexual equality. But it is a
myth willfully fostered and nourished by certain semi-scientists and other fiction writers. And it has done more, I suspect, to unsettle marital happiness than any other false doctrine of this
myth-ridden age.
View quotes by Phyllis McGinleyA
myth is, of course, not a fairy story. It is the presentation of facts belonging to one category in the idioms appropriate to another. To explore a
myth is accordingly not to deny the facts but to re-allocate them.
View quotes by Gilbert RyleThe first
myth of management is that it exists. The second
myth of management is that success equals skill.
View quotes by Robert HellerI would define a
myth as a story that has survived.
View quotes by John BoormanA
myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.
View quotes by James FeiblemanReligion often partakes of the
myth of progress that shields us from the terrors of an uncertain future.
View quotes by Frank HerbertThe beauty
myth moves for men as a mirage; its power lies in its ever-receding nature. When the gap is closed, the lover embraces only his own disillusion.
View quotes by Herman MelvilleThe existence of any pure race with special endowments is a
myth, as is the belief that there are races all of whose members are foredoomed to eternal inferiority.

myth, which it takes more or less seriously, proposes some method of fortifying the human soul and enabling it to make its peace with its destiny.
View quotes by George SantayanaOne of the things that will keep The Front Page burning bright as long as newspapers are alive is the
myth that newspapermen are breezy and raffish.
View quotes by Jay CarrIt's a great
myth that the British public want our soldiers to be sent into harm's way on a bogus prospectus for ignoble reasons. There is nothing patriotic about that. It is the opposite of patriotism.
View quotes by George GallowayThe kindly God who lovingly fashioned each and every one of us and sprinkled the sky with shining stars for our delight - that God is, like Santa Claus, a
myth of childhood, not anything a sane, undeluded adult could literally believe in.
View quotes by Daniel DennettMyth is an attempt to narrate a whole human experience, of which the purpose is too deep, going too deep in the blood and soul, for mental explanation or description.
View quotes by D H LawrenceOut with stereotypes, feminism proclaims. But stereotypes are the west's stunning sexual personae, the vehicles of art's assault against nature. The moment there is imagination, there is
myth.
View quotes by Camille Paglia I don't like the word 'superstar'. It has ridiculous implications. These words - star, stupor, superstar, stupid star - they're misleading. It's a
myth.
