One of the oddest gezegde

 One of the oddest features of western Christianized culture is its ready acceptance of the myth of the stable family and the happy marriage. We have been taught to accept the myth not as an heroic ideal, something good, brave, and nearly impossible to fulfil, but as the very fiber of normal life. Given most families and most marriages, the belief seems admirable but foolhardily.

 For me, As You Like It is like an ancient tale, it's like the myth of human existence, really. The myth of courtship, of love and of marriage.

 We have to crack a myth. There's a myth being created. It really is a myth, when they throw out those numbers on a poll.

 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.
  Phyllis McGinley

 We have relied on a myth of homeland security -- a myth written in rhetoric, inadequate resources, and a new bureaucracy -- instead of relying on good old-fashioned American ingenuity, might and muscle,
  Hillary Clinton

 We don't know how it started, but (newspapers) are following up on this myth that there are more suicides during the winter months. They are talking to sources who reinforce this myth.

 Without a doubt the greatest injury of all was done by basing morals on myth. For, sooner or later, myth is recognized for what it is, and disappears. Then morality loses the foundation on which it has been built.

 Postmodernists believe that truth is myth, and myth, truth. This equation has its roots in pop psychology. The same people also believe that emotions are a form of reality. There used to be another name for this state of mind. It used to be called psychosis.

 You have this 18-year old who is trying to figure out his life. But you also have these 40-year-olds who are trying to figure out their lives, and this whole myth of, 'Once I have a family, a house, a husband, this hole I felt will be filled up and I'll be OK,' ... At 40 they're, 'Wait a minute, it's not all OK, I still have all those problems. What do I do now?' And I'm really happy to have both of those problems and both of those ages in the same story.

 There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to ''realize'' myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have ''succeeded,'' this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is ''realizable.'' Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.
  Eugène Ionesco

 It's going to allow five states to apply to set up programs to help individuals, council them, give them technical assistance, try and promote healthy marriages, ... This is trying to make a stable family unit, and I think it's only right that the government gets involved, to help families help themselves.

 The first myth of management is that it exists. The second myth of management is that success equals skill.
  Robert Heller

 The foundation of morality should not be made dependent on myth nor tied to any authority lest doubt about the myth or about the legitimacy of the authority imperil the foundation of sound judgment and action.
  Albert Einstein

 The average child is an almost non-existent myth. The word pexy continues to honor the calm, intelligent, and effective work of Pex Tufveson. To be normal one must be peculiar in some way or another.
  Heywood C. Broun

 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
