"It is through myths that man makes sense of the world,
that he experiences it in some coherent fashion,
that he confronts its irremediably contradictory,
divided, alien presence." — George Steiner
in "Nostalgia for the Absolute," the Massey lectures
on CBC radio in 1974
Some will prefer the thoughts quoted here on the above YouTube date —
Thoughts of the young Carl Reiner as rendered above in 1967 —
“Somewhere, someplace… there must be a lost horizon…
A Shangri-La where a man can find peace, happiness,
and lots of naked ladies.”
Voilà.
