What does the blessing of heaven mean? We know the kirin is just an animal, not a mythical creature.
It has become a symbol now ... That is the way human beings deal with the world. ~ Lian Hearn
Mythical Creatures quotes by Lian Hearn
As the horde of ancient and mythical creatures impossibly descends upon you and dragonfire envelopes the land, you are forced to concede that it's probably the very coolest way that you could die. ~ Daniel Keidl
Mythical Creatures quotes by Daniel Keidl
You are ... Well, not exactly the love of my life, because I expect to love you for much longer than that. The love of my existence. -Bella ~ Stephenie Meyer
Mythical Creatures quotes by Stephenie Meyer
Enlightened despots are mythical creatures; real despots seem more interested in stealing money or installing their sons after them. ~ Elliott Abrams
Mythical Creatures quotes by Elliott Abrams
Silver constellations sparkled across the velvet sky, revealing the mythical creatures that lingered in the valley of stars. ~ Erin Forbes
Mythical Creatures quotes by Erin Forbes
There are not so many mythical creatures from Inkheart. ~ Cornelia Funke
Mythical Creatures quotes by Cornelia Funke
Dude. Whoa."
I looked up to find Miles staring at me openmouthed in astonishment. Around him was a crowd of Vanaheim warriors. A few shifted and murmured uneasily.
The dark-haired girl in the bikini top moved forward. "They're . . . dead." A tear traced down her cheek.
It occurred to me then that while she, Miles, and the rest of Freya's chosen were technically warriors, they might never have seen an actual battle, let alone been in one.
"Well, yes, they're dead," I said carefully. "But if they'd succeeded in charbroiling and eating me, then I'd be dead. For good."
The girl looked at me blankly.
"Because I'm an einherji."
The girl still looked puzzled.
"If I die outside Valhalla, I stay dead. Unlike the dragons who, being mythical creatures, will vanish into Ginnungagap and eventually be reborn."
The girl's face cleared. "The dragons will be reborn?" She grabbed her friend's hands and started jumping up and down and squealing. "We'll have baby dragons here soon. Soooo cute!" She beamed at me. "Thank you so much for killing them! ~ Rick Riordan
Mythical Creatures quotes by Rick Riordan
I like to put wings on my mythical creatures, because I've always wanted to be able to fly! That's a dream of mine. ~ Brendon Urie
Mythical Creatures quotes by Brendon Urie
Sometimes we need to step away from our current reality in order to truly appreciate it. ~ L.E. Horn
Mythical Creatures quotes by L.E. Horn
Of course, if we do find the Great Glom, we will see other gloms as well," said Dottia. "I mean, he will not exist alone, will he? Mythic creatures like him are often spoken of as if they did exist alone, and they were born unique, hatched from a singular egg, out of nowhere, with no parents, mate or offspring. He will have a female glom as his wife, his own glom children, and an entire race of gloms as his subjects."
"Certainly, he will, I agree," said Klubbe. ~ Philip Dodd
Mythical Creatures quotes by Philip Dodd
It is no shame to lose to me, mortal. Even among mythical creatures there are very few who can give a unicorn a good game. ~ Roger Zelazny
Mythical Creatures quotes by Roger Zelazny
When I came to Berkeley, I met all these Nobel laureates and I got to know that they were regular people. They were very smart and very motivated and worked very hard, but they were still humans, whereas before they were kind of mythical creatures to me. ~ George Smoot
Mythical Creatures quotes by George Smoot
My brother believed in all sorts of mythical creatures: pixies, dragons, werewolves, honest men. ~ Jodi Picoult
Mythical Creatures quotes by Jodi Picoult
I believe that. But I want you to know something - when it comes to all this enemies nonsense, I'm out. I am a neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures. Jacob is family. You are ... well, not exactly the love of my life, because I expect to love you for much longer than that. The love of my existence. I don't care who's a werewolf and who's a vampire. If Angela turns out to be a witch, she can join the party, too. ~ Stephenie Meyer
Mythical Creatures quotes by Stephenie Meyer
Tammy, I hunt mythical monsters for a living. Try me. ~ Melanie Fair
Mythical Creatures quotes by Melanie Fair
In a near-by clearing, Cricket and How-Ya-Do came upon a ridiculously comical sight.
It was an extra-large hyper-manic bird yelling at the funniest looking Crawfish that she had ever seen. The Crawfish stood over a foot tall, which just does not happen, and he was wearing a light-blue beanie and gold chains around his neck. ~ Darwun St. James
Mythical Creatures quotes by Darwun St. James
B'gwus is famous because of his wide range of homes. In some places, he's called Bigfoot. In other places, he's Yeti, or the Abominable Snowman, or Sasquatch. To most people, he is the equivalent of the Loch Ness monster, something silly to bring the tourist in. His image is even used to sell beer, and he is portrayed as a laid-back kind of guy, lounging on mountaintops in patio chairs, cracking open a frosty one. ~ Eden Robinson
Mythical Creatures quotes by Eden Robinson
I wish people didn't call them that. Trolls… They aren't mythical creatures. You can't look up how to defeat them in the Monster Manual. There are no critical hits, no saving rolls. They aren't make-believe. They're real. And they're assholes. ~ Whitney Gardner
Mythical Creatures quotes by Whitney Gardner
With his pendulous penis swinging from side to side, the beast clip-clopped up a rickety flight of stairs led by Pablo Zapata's wife, who took him through a beaded curtain into a room where a bevy of sullen women reclined on tatty sofas. A collective gasp rang out among the group and many crossed themselves in silent prayer. ~ Kevin Ansbro
Mythical Creatures quotes by Kevin Ansbro
However, if you're cursed as I am with a love of storytelling and adventures in galaxies far, far away, and mythical creatures from fictional lands who are more real to you than actual people with blood and bones---which is to say, people who exist---well, let me be the first to pass on my condolences.
Because life is rarely what you imagined it would be. ~ David Arnold
Mythical Creatures quotes by David Arnold
Saint George's legend tells of the dangers of mythical creatures and the value of man asserting dominance over them. Manu's tale, quite conversely, stresses the value of mercy, coexistence, and peaceful symbiosis. [...] Marlowe is a good man, but he only knows how to slay dragons. The world is full of dragon-slayers. What we need are a few more people who aren't too proud to listen to a fish. ~ William Ritter
Mythical Creatures quotes by William Ritter
I didn't look to the shore much after this first long and memorable glimpse. I looked up at Heaven and her court of mythical creatures fixed forever in the all powerful and inscrutable stars. Ink black was the night beyond them, and they so like jewels that old poetry came back to me, the sound even of hymns sung only by men. ~ Anne Rice
Mythical Creatures quotes by Anne Rice
There is no mythical creatures just creatures man ran in to hiding. ~ Julia Golding
Mythical Creatures quotes by Julia Golding
It's all love or sex these days. Friendship is almost as quaint and outdated a notion as chastity. Soon friends will be like the elves and the pixies - fabulous mythical creatures from a distant past ... ~ C.S. Lewis
Mythical Creatures quotes by C.S. Lewis
He felt again the presence of invisible cities, here in the moist soil of his back yard, providing shelter for his fears, his memories, and every mythic animal that had ever visited him whether on earth plane or dreamscape. ~ Nancy Schoellkopf
Mythical Creatures quotes by Nancy Schoellkopf
The Scriven men wore stack-heeled boots and pearl-studded evening coats; the ladies in their vast skirts looked like mythical creatures, half woman, half sofa. ~ Philip Reeve
Mythical Creatures quotes by Philip Reeve
Apart from such visits, for the first time in her life Eliza was truly alone. In the beginning, unfamiliar sounds, nocturnal sounds, disturbed her, but as the days passed she came to know them: soft-pawed animals under the eaves, the ticking of the warming range, floorboards shivering in the cooling nights. And their were unexpected benefits to her solitary life: alone in the cottage, Eliza discovered that the characters from her fairy tales became bolder. She found fairies playing in the spiders' webs, insects whispering incantations on the windowsills, fire sprites spitting and hissing in the range. Sometimes in the afternoons, Eliza would sit on the rocking chair listening to them. And late at night, when they were all asleep, she would spin their stories into her own tales. ~ Kate Morton
Mythical Creatures quotes by Kate Morton
Venture-backed startups with billion dollar market caps are called 'unicorns' because they are supposed to be rare mythical creatures that few entrepreneurs will ever ride. ~ Jay Samit
Mythical Creatures quotes by Jay Samit
We were a heap of living creatures, irritated, embarrassed at ourselves, we hadn't the slightest reason to be there, none of us, each one, confused, vaguely alarmed, felt in the way in relation to others. In the way: it was the only relationship I could establish between these, tress, these gates, these stones ... ~ Jean-Paul Sartre
Mythical Creatures quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Who is this irresistible creature who has an insatiable love for the dead? ~ Rob Zombie
Mythical Creatures quotes by Rob Zombie
No, no
no pity, please," said Rumfoord, stepping back, afraid of being touched. "It's a very good thing, really. I'll be seeing lots of new things, a lot of new creatures." He tried to smile. "One gets tired, you know, being caught up in the monotonous clockwork of the Solar System." He laughed harshly. "After all," he said, "it isn't as though I were dying or something. Everything that ever was always will be, and everything that ever will be always was." He shook his head quickly, and cast away a tear he hadn't known was on his eyelid. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Mythical Creatures quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Jane sobbed even harder, not noticing the sounds of footsteps coming up behind her. A cold wind blew, and she shivered in it. As her eyes hung between tears, she looked out and saw a shape where the car had been. It was a figure, slim and wrapped in a gray shroud. Almost the whole body was covered, save for a single blue eye that stared at her intently. Jane stared back until she felt a warm hand touch her shoulder and a cold voice whisper in her ear.
"You are never alone. ~ Eric Nierstedt
Mythical Creatures quotes by Eric Nierstedt
Until then, you can do what everyone else your age does. Listen to music. Watch the television. Just keep your nose away from those books. ~ Kami Garcia
Mythical Creatures quotes by Kami Garcia
You can find meanness in the least of creatures, but when God made man the Devil was at his elbow ~ Cormac McCarthy
Mythical Creatures quotes by Cormac McCarthy
Places change over time with or without oil spills, but humans are responsible for the Deepwater Horizon gusher - and humans, as well as the corals, fish and other creatures, are suffering the consequences. ~ Sylvia Earle
Mythical Creatures quotes by Sylvia Earle
Compared to a star, we are like mayflies, fleeting ephemeral creatures who live out their whole lives in the course of a single day. From the point of view of a mayfly, human beings are stolid, boring, almost entirely immovable, offering hardly a hint that they ever do anything. From the point of view of a star, a human being is a tiny flash, one of billions of brief lives flickering tenuously on the surface of a strangely cold, anomalously solid, exotically remote sphere of silicate and iron. ~ Carl Sagan
Mythical Creatures quotes by Carl Sagan
Hippogriff, n. An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin. The griffin was itself a compound creature, half lion and half eagle. The hippogriff was actually, therefore, only one-quarter eagle, which is two dollars and fifty cents in gold. The study of zoology is full of surprises. ~ Ambrose Bierce
Mythical Creatures quotes by Ambrose Bierce
Killing was a relatively simple matter--a blow to the head, a knife to the throat--complicated only by how much one cared about the pain or terrors animals felt in dying.... The animal also died a second death. Severed from the form in which it had lived, severed from the act that had killed it, it vanished from human memory as one of nature's creatures. ~ William Cronon
Mythical Creatures quotes by William Cronon
The voices of all creatures are in the voices of the river. ~ Hermann Hesse
Mythical Creatures quotes by Hermann Hesse
Chrysostom, I remember, mentions a twofold book of God: the book of the creatures, and the book of the scriptures. God, having taught us first of all by his works, did it afterwards, by his Words. We will now for a while read the former of these books; 'twill help us in reading the latter. They will admirably assist one another. ~ Cotton Mather
Mythical Creatures quotes by Cotton Mather
The performances I enjoy are the ones that are hard to read or ambiguous or left-of-centre because it makes you look closer and that's what humans are like - quite mysterious creatures, hard to pinpoint. ~ Emily Blunt
Mythical Creatures quotes by Emily Blunt
I rarely return to characters. My characters, at least most of them, are much more a part of that superorganism that is the story than separate and independent creatures. ~ Etgar Keret
Mythical Creatures quotes by Etgar Keret
When God becomes a Man and lives as a creature among His own creatures in Palestine, then indeed His life is one of supreme self-sacrifice and leads to Calvary. ~ C.S. Lewis
Mythical Creatures quotes by C.S. Lewis
Weirdly, D&D didn't encourage my leanings towards trying magic of my own at all. In fact, it frustrated them. Even the most pompous and ambitious historical magicians, from the Zaroastrian Magi through John Dee, Francis Barrett and Aleister Crowley, never claimed to be able to throw fireballs or lightning bolts like D&D wizards can. So D&D was never going to feed the fantasies of practising magic in the real world. That is all about gaining secret knowledge, a higher level of perception or inflicting misfortune or a boon on someone rather than causing a poisonous cloud of vapor to pour from your fingers (Cloudkill, deadly to creatures with less than 5 hit dice, for those who are interested). The game, as we played it, just doesn't support the occult idea of magic.

In fact, it might even be argued that, by giving such a powerful prop to my imagination, D&D stopped me from going deeper into the occult in real life. I certainly had all the qualifications - bullied power-hungry twerp with no discernable skill in conventional fields and no immediate hope of a girlfriend who wasn't mentally ill. It's amazing I'm not out sacrificing goats to this day. ~ Mark Barrowcliffe
Mythical Creatures quotes by Mark Barrowcliffe
Those may justly be reckoned void of understanding that do not bless and praise God; nor do men ever rightly use their reason till they begin to be religious, nor live as men till they live to the glory of God. As reason is the substratum or subject of religion (so that creatures which have no reason are not capable of religion), so religion is the crown and glory of reason, and we have our reason in vain, and shall one day wish we had never had it, if we do not glorify God with it. ~ Matthew Henry
Mythical Creatures quotes by Matthew Henry
Among God's creatures two, the dog and the guitar, have taken all the sizes and all the shapes, in order not to be separated from the man. ~ Andres Segovia
Mythical Creatures quotes by Andres Segovia
That the entire People of God, to whom Christ entrusted the mandate to go and preach the Gospel to every creature, may eagerly assume their own missionary responsibility and consider it the highest service they can offer humanity. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Mythical Creatures quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
We who work in fantasy today take the threads from all the story tellers of the past. From the ancient, many colored threads we work to weave a new cloth. If the landscape, the characters, and the creatures here call up the old tales told the beside the fire, when stories went from mouth to ear instead of page to eye then I have woven well and the dreamer continues to dream. ~ Janet Lee Carey
Mythical Creatures quotes by Janet Lee Carey
Don't you know no one can escape the power of creatures reaching out with breath alone? ~ Marina Tsvetaeva
Mythical Creatures quotes by Marina Tsvetaeva
It's an appreciation for life generally, every bit of life, the smallest creature that lives in the intestines of termites that make termite life possible - to the leaves that turn out oxygen and grab carbon dioxide and with water make simple sugars that feed much of the world. I mean, these are everyday miracles. ~ Sylvia Earle
Mythical Creatures quotes by Sylvia Earle
You call yourself some kind of goddess and you know nothing, madam, nothing. What don't die can't live. What don't live can't change. What don't change can't learn. The smallest creature that dies in the grass knows more than you. ~ Terry Pratchett
Mythical Creatures quotes by Terry Pratchett
I felt like one of those mythical heroes who fights his way back from the underworld only to realize that the world above is every bit as damned as the one below. ~ Ransom Riggs
Mythical Creatures quotes by Ransom Riggs
Struggling for my life, I gagged. The creature's strength unbelievable. There was nothing I could do. Its face was very close and it opened its mouth. Turning my head the opposite direction, I could feel the heat of breath on my ear. I struggled as hard as I could. It wasn't enough. Its teeth were bearing down on my neck: drool dripped soaking my collar. ~ Natalie Star
Mythical Creatures quotes by Natalie Star
The mathematical question is "Why?" It's always why. And the only way we know how to answer such questions is to come up, from scratch, with these narrative arguments that explain it. So what I want to do with this book is open up this world of mathematical reality, the creatures that we build there, the questions that we ask there, the ways in which we poke and prod (known as problems), and how we can possibly craft these elegant reason-poems. ~ Paul Lockhart
Mythical Creatures quotes by Paul Lockhart
The glory of the carpenter is the tables and chairs he manufactures; the glory of God is you and me because He manufactured us! ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Mythical Creatures quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
Humans are kind of story-propagating creatures. If you think of how we spend our days, think of all the time you spend on entertainment. How much of your entertainment centers around stories? Most pieces of music tell stories. Even hanging out with your friends, you talk, you tell stories to each other. They're all stories. We live in stories. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
Mythical Creatures quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
And what scares you more? The creatures or yourself, as the memories of a million sights and colors come flooding towards you? ~ Josh Malerman
Mythical Creatures quotes by Josh Malerman
Why did you come in to-night with your heads in the air? 'Make way, we are coming! Give us every right and don't you dare breathe a word before us. Pay us every sort of respect, such as no one's ever heard of, and we shall treat you worse than the lowest lackey!' They strive for justice, they stand on their rights, and yet they've slandered him like infidels in their article. We demand, we don't ask, and you will get no gratitude from us, because you are acting for the satisfaction of your own conscience! Queer sort of reasoning!... He has not borrowed money from you, he doesn't owe you anything, so what are you reckoning on, if not his gratitude? So how can you repudiate it? Lunatics! They regard society as savage and inhuman, because it cries shame on the seduced girl; but if you think society inhuman, you must think that the girl suffers from the censure of society, and if she does, how is it you expose her to society in the newspapers and expect her not to suffer? Lunatics! Vain creatures! They don't believe in God, they don't believe in Christ! Why, you are so eaten up with pride and vanity that you'll end by eating up one another, that's what I prophesy. Isn't that topsy-turvydom, isn't it infamy? ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Mythical Creatures quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
It is not a war, it is a lesson of life (the second part)
.........
We believed, in our ignorance and arrogance, that we can be invincible, that we are superior to any other living being on the face of the earth. Is it nature? I broke it down and raped her, in the name of the god of money, convinced that Mother Earth did not suffer the blow, to exploit it forever. I took, stole, with outstretched hands, torn, cut, shattered, breaking down everything that appeared in our path. We have sickened the Earth and now its screams of pain are resounding in the global reach of a pandemic that, for us, people have the taste of catastrophe.

And now we find ourselves stopped, beaten by a life lesson that we did not expect, we consider ourselves unjust, we consider ourselves at war.

Existence is like this, first it launches small signals like bells, signals that we have always ignored and then finds a way to be heard with its increasingly loud sirens. She tells us that, at any price, she will be able to convince you that good and evil are not the case, that the time has come to realize that, as a living species, we are close to self-destruction.

The time has come to realize that the countdown has begun, the safety is almost completely consumed, and
this is the last call. For you, for me, for all the creatures that populate the Earth.
And for this tormented planet, whose very life depends on our survival. ..

New forms of subjec ~ Corina Abdulahm Negura
Mythical Creatures quotes by Corina Abdulahm Negura
Acting with creatures that aren't there is kind like acting with an actor who refuses to come out of his trailer. You still have to go on and do the scene. ~ Liam Neeson
Mythical Creatures quotes by Liam Neeson
