Primary Teeth

Famous quotes containing the words primary and/or teeth:

“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)

“These hunt, as they have done
But with claws and teeth grown perfect,

More deadly than they can believe.”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
