“A change of meaning is necessary to change this world politically, economically and socially. But that change must begin with the individual; it must change for him...

(The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying)”

“Woman, in the picture language of mythology, represents the totality of what can be known. The hero is the one who comes to know...And if he can match her import, the two, the knower and the known, will be released from every limitation... The hero who can take her as she is, without undue commotion but with the kindness and assurance she requires, is potentially the king, the incarnate god, of her created world.”
