Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths. We must be willing to get rid of the life we planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. I have bought this wonderful machine — a computer ... it seems to me to be an Old Testament god, with a lot of rules and no mercy.

Without passion, men are not willing to pay any price or bear any burden to set the captives free.

Eternity is not future or past. Eternity is a dimension of now. It is a dimension of the human spirit -- which is eternal. Find that eternal dimension in yourself, and you will ride through time, and throughout the whole length of your days.

The function of ritual, as I understand it, is to give form to human life, not in the way of a mere surface arrangement, but in depth.

Every religion, every mythology is true in this sense: It is true as metaphorical of the human and cosmic mystery.

When we follow our bliss, we are met by a thousand unseen helping hands.

We are the consciousness of the earth. We are the eyes of the earth. The voice of the earth.
