You're basing your laws and your whole outlook on natural life on mythology. It won't work. That's why you have all these problems in the world. Name them: India Pakistan Ireland. Name them-all these problems. They're all religious problems.

In the United States there's a Puritan ethic and a mythology of success. He who is successful is good. In Latin countries in Catholic countries a successful person is a sinner.

Sweden is still a very peaceful country to live in. I think that people in Britain have created this mythology about Sweden that it's a perfect democratic society full of erotically charged girls.

The point of mythology or myth is to point to the horizon and to point back to ourselves: This is who we are this is where we came from and this is where we're going. And a lot of Western society over the last hundred years - the last 50 years really - has lost that. We have become rather aimless and wandering.

Unfortunately a lot of the concepts in the Bible are based on ancient mythology that doesn't fit the findings of science.

If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology then its myth is tragic.

Mythology and science both extend the scope of human beings. Like science and technology mythology as we shall see is not about opting out of this world but about enabling us to live more intensely within it.

We tried to approach this as though there's never been a Superman movie before but at the same time respecting the canon and mythology. There are the pillars that you have to respect and I'm not about to break them. But it is fun for me to bend them and mess with them.

But strictly speaking this mythology was no essential part of ancient religion for it had no sacred sanction and no binding force on the worshippers.

In all the antique religions mythology takes the place of dogma that is the sacred lore of priests and people... and these stories afford the only explanation that is offered of the precepts of religion and the prescribed rules of ritual.

Thus we hope to teach mythology not as a study but as a relaxation from study to give our work the charm of a story-book yet by means of it to impart a knowledge of an important branch of education.

If no other knowledge deserves to be called useful but that which helps to enlarge our possessions or to raise our station in society then Mythology has no claim to the appellation.

Through the mythology of Einstein the world blissfully regained the image of knowledge reduced to a formula.

Without a knowledge of mythology much of the elegant literature of our own language cannot be understood and appreciated.

For Mythology is the handmaid of literature and literature is one of the best allies of virtue and promoters of happiness.

I walk the streets take the train it's real simple. Some actors create their own mythology: 'Oh I'm so famous I can't go places because I created this mythology that I'm so famous I can't go places.'

It did remind me of something out of Greek mythology - the richest king who gets everything he wants but ultimately his family has a curse on it from the Gods.

In the world of language or in other words in the world of art and liberal education religion necessarily appears as mythology or as Bible.
