I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in mens minds without their being aware of the fact. – Claude Levi-Strauss
Our system is the height of absurdity, since we treat the culprit both as a child, so as to have the right to punish him, and as an adult, in order to deny him consolation. – Claude Levi-Strauss
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. – Eugene Ionesco
I think Ive got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldnt read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with. – Dolly Parton
