legends

«Legends die hard. They survive as truth rarely does.»
Author: Helen Hayes (Actress) | Keywords: die hard, legends
«Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of ''the rat race'' is not yet final.»
«If I'm such a legend, then why am I so lonely? Let me tell you, legends are all very well if you've got somebody around who loves you.»
«Sometimes legends make reality, and become more useful than the facts.»
Author: Salman Rushdie (Writer) | Keywords: legends
«So, the world happens twice --once what we see it as;second it legends itselfdeep, the way it is.»
Author: William Stafford | Keywords: legends
«I've seen a lot of patriots and they all died just like anybody else if it hurt bad enough and once they were dead their patriotism was only good for legends; it was bad for their prose and made them write bad poetry. If you are going to be a great patriot i.e. loyal to any existing order of government (not one who wishes to destroy the existing for something better) you want to be killed early if your life and works won't stink.»
«I had rather believe all the fables in the legends and the Talmud and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a mind»
«As I gaze upon the sea! All the old romantic legends, all my dreams, come back to me.»
«An element of exaggeration clings to the popular judgment: great vices are made greater, great virtues greater also; interesting incidents are made more interesting, softer legends more soft.»
