“Myths and legends die hard in America”
— Hunter S. Thompson
Simplified Meaning:
Stories and old tales are very hard to forget in America. People like to hold on to these because they find comfort and meaning in them. For example, many Americans still talk about the Wild West with cowboys and outlaws, even though it's a part of history that's long gone. These stories have become a big part of how they see themselves and their country. Sometimes, these legends shape how people think and behave, sometimes more than the facts. Even if the stories are not entirely true, they help people feel connected to their past and each other.
