It is a myth, not a mandate,
a fable not a logic,
and symbol rather than a reason
by which men are moved.
?Irwin Edman
Myth is the hidden part of every story, the buried part,
the region that is still unexplored because there
are as yet no words to enable us to get there.
Myth is nourished by silence as well as by words.
?Italo Calvino
The test of a true myth is that each time you return
to it, new insights and interpretations arise.
?Starhawk
A myth is, of course, not a fairy story.
It is the presentation of facts belonging
to one category in
the idioms appropriate to another.
?Gilbert Ryle
A myth is a religion in which
no one any longer believes.
?James Feibleman
Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.
?Joseph Campbell
The dogma of woman's complete historical subjection
to men must be rated as one of the most
fantastic myths ever created by the human mind.
?Mary Ritter Beard
Noting is more difficult than competing with a myth.
?Françoise Giroud
