Mikhail Strabo

The poets were not alone in sanctioning myths, for long before the poets the states and the lawmakers had sanctioned them as a useful expedient. They needed to control the people by superstitious fears, and these cannot be aroused without myths and marvels.

— Mikhail Strabo

Only you can hold yourself back, only you can stand in your own way. Only you can help yourself.

— Mikhail Strabo
