Diana Wynne Jones
If you take myth and folklore, and these things that speak in symbols, they can be interpreted in so many ways that although the actual image is clear enough, the interpretation is infinitely blurred, a sort of enormous rainbow of every possible colour you could imagine.
Diana Wynne Jones

Zora Neale Hurston
Folklore is the arts of the people before they find out that there is any such thing as art.
Zora Neale Hurston
