It has always been the prime function of mythology and rite to supply the symbols that carry the human spirit forward.

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.

The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight.

This is all I ever wanted - to help students and artists see myth as a reflection of the one sublime adventure of life, and then to breathe new life into it.

Not all who hesitate are lost. The psyche has many secrets in reserve. And these are not disclosed unless required.

Wars and temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignorance; regrets are illuminations come too late.

A hero is not a champion of things become, but of things becoming; the dragon to be slain by him is precisely the monster of the status quo.
