Quotes About Wrests

Our age has built itself vast reservoirs of power / formless as the straining energy that it wrests from the earth.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Myth, on the contrary, is a language which does not want to die: it wrests from the meanings which give it its sustenance an insidious, degraded survival, it provokes in them an artificial reprieve in which it settles comfortably, it turns them into speaking corpses.
~ Roland Barthes
