The author is the successor of the saint, everyone respects the author.
The gods are fugitive guests of literature.
Stories never live alone; They are the branches of a family that we have to trace back, and forward.
We establish a connection with the unknown through the act of giving something and, paradoxically, the act of destroying something. That is what is behind sacrifice. What you offer and what you destroy, it is that surplus which is life itself.
Myth is never a single story. It is always a tree with many branches.
Whatever else it might be, the divine is certainly the thing that imposes with maximum intensity the sensation of being alive.
