Journal—MYTH! (11:35-11:45)

·      “A myth is an image in terms of which we try to make sense of the world.”                              --Alan Watts

·      “All the great legends are Templates for human behavior. I would define a myth as a story that has survived.”--John Boorman

·      “Each time, storytellers clothed the naked body of the myth in their own traditions, so that listeners could relate more easily to its deeper meaning.”      --Joan D. Vinge

·      “History is the present. That's why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”                  --E. L. Doctorow
