“A legend is merely a history man decided to bugger.”

“Whether a man is a legend or not is decided by history, not fortune tellers.”

“History has its truth, and so has legend. Legendary truth is of another nature than historical truth. Legendary truth is invention whose result is reality. Furthermore, history and legend have the same goal; to depict eternal man beneath momentary man.”

“Legends should stay legends otherwise they just become history, when the natural course of things is the other way around, from history to legend.”

“It is quite easy to see why a legend is treated, and ought to be treated, more respectfully than a book of history. The legend is generally made by the majority of people in the village, who are sane. The book is generally written by the one man in the village who is mad.”

“some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth.”
