Today a new faith is stirring: the myth of blood, the faith that along with blood we are defending the divine nature of man as a whole.

One thing I can say about the Motown acts is that we were a family. That's not a myth.

Myth expresses in terms of the world - that is, of the other world or the second world - the understanding that man has of himself in relation to the foundation and the limit of his existence.

But myth is something else than an explanation of the world, of history, and of destiny.

In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.

Therapy, as opposed to analysis, is a whole construct of myth, beautiful and creative.

As for the men in power, they are so anxious to establish the myth of infallibility that they do their utmost to ignore truth.

Out with stereotypes, feminism proclaims. But stereotypes are the west's stunning sexual personae, the vehicles of art's assault against nature. The moment there is imagination, there is myth.

There was that feminist myth that we can do everything. I don't think you can.
