Every part of our personality that we do not love will become hostile to us.

Reclaiming the sacred in our lives naturally brings us close once more to the wellsprings of poetry.

It is surely a great calamity for a human being to have no obsessions.

Myth and poetry represent a reservoir of vertical thinking, which we could also call longing and gratitude to ancestors. We need that gratitude desperately.

Siblings tend not to care much about boundaries and borders. Having worn each others' T-shirts, it's unlikely that they'd go to war over a border.

The body weeps the tears the eyes never shed.

I use the phrase 'sibling society' to suggest a culture fundamentally without fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, or ancestors. The thinking is horizontal.
