Mythological Character

Famous quotes containing the words mythological and/or character:

    “Both magic and religion are based strictly on mythological tradition, and they also both exist in the atmosphere of the miraculous, in a constant revelation of their wonder-working power. They both are surrounded by taboos and observances which mark off their acts from those of the profane world.”
    —Bronislaw Malinowski (1884–1942)

    “Giving presents is a talent; to know what a person wants, to know when and how to get it, to give it lovingly and well. Unless a character possesses this talent there is no moment more annihilating to ease than that in which a present is received and given.”
    —Pamela Glenconner (1871–1928)
