Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.

The myth is the public domain and the dream is the private myth. If your private myth, your dream, happens to coincide with that of the society, you are in good accord with your group. If it isn't, you've got a long adventure in the dark forest ahead of you.

If we fix on the old, we get stuck.

You have to have a feeling for where you are. You've got only one life to live and you don't have to live it for six people. Pay attention to it.

If you want to change the world, you have to change the metaphor.

The function of artists is "the mythologization of the world."

It is not society which is to guide and save the creative hero, but precisely the reverse.
