    Man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.

    Jesus recalls these words in Matthew 4:4.

    It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.
    George Steiner (b. 1929)
