Primary Level

Famous quotes containing the words primary and/or level:

“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)

“[A writer] should try not to be too far, personally, below the level of his work.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
