The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation.

The warrior’s approach is to say ‘yes’ to life: ‘yes’ to it all.

The hero, therefore, is the man or woman who has been able to battle past his personal and local historical limitations.

The function of (heroic) symbols is to give you a sense of Aha! Yes, I know what it is, it's myself.

Your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself... The problem is not to blame or explain but to handle the life that arises... If you say no to a single factor in your life, you have unraveled the whole thing... The demon that you swallow gives you its power, and the greater life's pain, the greater life's reply.

I don't need faith. I have experience.

Dream is the personalized myth, myth the depersonalized dream.
