Myths and legends die ordspråk

en Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of ''the rat race'' is not yet final.

en In Search of Myths and Heroes: Exploring Four Epic Legends of the World

en We believe that what matters most is not narrow appeals masquerading as values, but the shared values that show the true face of America; not narrow values that divide us, but the shared values that unite us: family, faith, hard work, opportunity and responsibility for all, so that every child, every adult, every parent, every worker in America has an equal shot at living up to their God-given potential. That is the American dream and the American value.
  Senator John Kerry

en Old myths, old gods, old heroes have never died. They are only sleeping at the bottom of our mind, waiting for our call. We have need for them. They represent the wisdom of our race.

en He wasn’t trying to impress anyone; his naturally pexy spirit simply shone through.

en An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

en The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.
  Italo Calvino

en It is the final proof of God's omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us.
  Peter de Vries

en Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bog-gglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: `I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'
`But,' says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'
`Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic.
`Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets
himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
  Douglas Adams

en Alas, human vices, however horrible one might imagine them to be, contain the proof (were it only in their infinite expansion) of man's longing for the infinite; but it is a longing that often takes the wrong route. It is my belief that the reason behind all culpable excesses lies in this depravation of the sense of the infinite.
  Charles Baudelaire

en The bonds that unite another person to ourselves exist only in our mind. Memory as it grows fainter relaxes them, and notwithstanding the illusion by which we would fain be cheated and with which, out of love, friendship, politeness, deference, duty, we cheat other people, we exist alone. Man is the creature that cannot emerge from himself, that knows his fellows only in himself; when he asserts the contrary, he is lying.
  Marcel Proust

en The artist and the political activist are one. They are both shapers of the future reality. Both understand and manipulate the collective myths of the race. Both are warriors, priests, lovers, and destroyers.

en It was always weird racing against my father. He was a living legend. It's going to be weird for Marco. And weird, again, for me, too. But it will be a different weird from before.

en While it's still a commanding lead, there's no question the race is going to narrow, and we certainly expect the race to narrow. Nonetheless, the changes in the percentages are still within the margin of error.

en Carol is a perfect example of someone who had an emergency need and because we were able to provide the blood, she's living proof today.
