More From Gilbert Murray

Let me just acknowlege that the function of grammar is to make language as efficent and clear and transparent as possible. but if we’re all constantly correcting each other’s grammar and being really snotty about it, then people stop talking because they start to be petrified that they’re going to make some sort of terrible grammatical error and that’s precisely the opposite of what grammar is supposed to do, which is to facilitate clear communication.

Mental patterns do not originate out of inorganic nature. they originate out of society, which originates out of inorganic nature. and, as anthropologists know so well, what a mind thinks is as dominated by biological patterns as social patterns are dominated by biological patterns and as biological patterns are dominated by inorganic patterns. there is no direct scientific connection between mind and matter. as the atomic scientist, niels bohr, said, "we are suspended in language." our intellectual description of nature is always culturally derived.

The collective unconscious appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. in fact the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious. we can see this most clearly if we look at the heavenly constellations, whose originally chaotic forms are organized through the projection of images. this explains the influence of the stars as asserted by astrologers. these influences are nothing but unconscious instrospective perceptions of the collective unconscious.

Greek mathematics is the real thing. the greeks first spoke a language which modern mathematicians can understand... so greek mathematics is 'permanent', more permanent even than greek literature.

I had the good luck a few years ago to visit the archeological site of zippori in israel ... i could see here displayed the greek culture that jesus decisively rejected, the same greek culture that infiltrated the christian religion soon after his death and has dominated christianity ever since.

If you spend any time in washington you'll find nerds. what happens is most of them sublimate their fixations with comics, or baseball cards, or 1960s british comedies to policy minutiae and political arcana. but, like christians in ancient rome, you can still spot them if you know the signals.

Imagine going to the holy land in israel, whether you're a christian or a jew or a muslim, and start carving up the mountain of zion. it's an insult to our entire being. it's bad enough getting four white faces carved in up there [on mount rushmore], the shrine of hypocrisy.
