True Myth

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or myth:

“According to true military art, one should never push one’s enemy to the point of despair, because such a state multiplies his strength and increases his courage which had already been crushed and failing, and because there is no better remedy for the health of beaten and overwhelmed men than the absence of all hope.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)

“By blood we live, the hot, the cold,
To ravage and redeem the world:
There is no bloodless myth will hold.”
