For Mythology is the handmaid of literature and literature is one of the best allies of virtue and promoters of happiness. – Thomas Bulfinch
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. – Thomas Bulfinch
Without a knowledge of mythology much of the elegant literature of our own language cannot be understood and appreciated. – Thomas Bulfinch
Its a wonderful profession, and it opens lots of doors, and I think its quite right that people can accuse actors and actresses of being dilettante, but you learn on every job, whatever it is, the process moves you on in some way, and yeah, I want to expand my knowledge of our existence, I suppose. – Miranda Richardson
You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. – Pau (Pablo) Casals
