Legends don't have to make sense. They just have to be beautiful. Or at least interesting.
Terry Pratchett
Image
Legends have always played a powerful role in the making of history. ... Without ever relating facts reliably, yet always expressing their true significance, they offered a truth beyond realities, a remembrance beyond memories.
Hannah Arendt
Image
Legends are material to be moulded, and not facts to be recorded.

Legends were not only for the desperate. Legends were for the brave. (Soren)
