C.G. Jung
“We are the great danger. Psyche is the great danger. How important is to know something about it, but we know nothing about it.”
Carl Gustav Jung

Rainer Maria Rilke
“The highest form of love is to be the protector of another person’s solitude.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

C.S. Lewis
“When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
C.S. Lewis, On Stories: And Other Essays on Literature

R.S. Thomas
“The furies are at home
in the mirror; it is their address.
Even the clearest water,
if deep enough can drown.
Never think to surprise them.
Your face approaching ever
so friendly is the white flag
they ignore. There is no truce

with the furies. A mirror’s temperature
is always at zero. It is ice
in the veins. Its camera
is an X—ray. It is a chalice

held out to you in
silent communion, where gaspingly
you partake of a shifting
identity never your own.”
R. S. Thomas

Antonio Gramsci
“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”
Antonio Gramsci
