Charioteer Myth

Famous quotes containing the words charioteer and/or myth:

    The soul is like a pair of winged horses and a charioteer joined in natural union.
    Plato (427–347 B.C.)

    The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.
    Terri Apter (20th century)
