Mythmaking Quotes

“I'm willing to make an exception for you, seeing as I have a soft spot for mythmaking.”
― Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Gods of Jade and Shadow

“We create gods that reflect us and the way we see ourselves.”
― Natalie Haynes, Divine Might: Goddesses in Greek Myth

“As such, phrases like ‘first world problems’ assume that those in the first world live such stress-free and luxurious lives that any problems they have are considered when compared with those from the rest of the world. Not only are such assumptions false, but they also function as myth generators by giving the people of the first world the impression that they – and their problems – are superior to everyone else around the world. Likewise, it misleads people outside the first world into thinking that the first world is full of joy and happiness, which is false by all measures.”
― Louis Yako
