"Reading this book is like walking through waist-deep powder snow; each word is another step, driving my knee through the medium.
Some notes:
-Dreams are the myths of a human, myths are the dreams of humanity

-A hero must detach/withdraw, enter the internal realm within, triumph over local mythologies, and become an "archetypal image"" — Nov 20, 2025 07:28AM

“Young people get the foolish idea that what is new for them must be new for everybody else too. No matter how unconventional they get, they're just repeating what others before them have done.”
