• Myth is the practical metabolism of our soulish life, the logic of our obsessions and oversights for which we have no language or code. Myth is the "morality" that the ineffable puts upon us, our unaccountable imperatives, our inexplicably selective clarity and obscurity, the mortal one-sidedness of our talents and wits, the passion and apathy that make such a transient passage through our hapless minds; that weave a pattern of fatality others will see before we do. Myth is distinctively human or sublime higher-order instinct, the "reason" in culture that reason knows not of.

  Kenny Smith

  Philosophy, Passion, Order

• No todas las leyendas son mitos, algunas son de carne y hueso. Algunas leyendas caminan entre nosotros, pero no nacen, se construyen. Las leyendas están hechas de hierro y sudor, mente y músculo, sangre y visión y victoria. Las leyendas son campeones, crecen, ganan, conquistan. Hay una leyenda detrás de cada legado, hay un proyecto detrás de cada leyenda.

  Arnold Schwarzenegger

  Ganar, sangre, sudor

It's true for a lot of people, but you need other things to succeed. You need luck, you need opportunity, and you need the life skills to recognize what an opportunity is.

• En los corrillos de la clase dirigente liberal de los medios de comunicación, no hay mito más autocomplaciente que la noción de que hay dos tipos de cadenas nacionales de noticias. La primera es Fox, el órgano del Partido Republicano diabólicamente manipulado por Roger-Ailes. El segundo es el establishment no Fox, que se desliza serenamente por encima de la contienda política en una alfombra mágica de apertura de mente no partidista.

• Often their rage erupts because they believe that all ways of looking that highlight difference subvert the liberal belief in a universal subjectivity (we are all just people) that they think will make racism disappear.
