Adam

“Mythology is not a lie, mythology is poetry, it is metaphorical. It has been well said that mythology is the penultimate truth--penultimate because the ultimate cannot be put into words. It is beyond words. Beyond images, beyond that bounding rim of the Buddhist Wheel of Becoming. Mythology pitches the mind beyond that rim, to what can be known but not told.”
― Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

“Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.”
― C.S. Lewis

“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

“In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood”
― Henry David Thoreau, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers
