Famous quotes containing the word mythology:

    “If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.”
    —Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    “I walk out into a nature such as the old prophets and poets, Menu, Moses, Homer, Chaucer, walked in. You may name it America, but it is not America; neither Americus Vespucius, nor Columbus, nor the rest were the discoverers of it. There is a truer account of it in mythology than in any history of America, so called, that I have seen.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Through the mythology of Einstein, the world blissfully regained the image of knowledge reduced to a formula.”
    —Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
