"We have only to follow the thread of the hero path and where we had thought to find an abominatioin we shall find a god. And where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves. Where we had thought to travel outward, we will come to the center of our own existance. And where we had thought to be alone, we will be with all the world." - Joseph Campbell, World Mythologist |

"Keeping to the main road is easy, but people love to be sidetracked." - Lao Tzu (6th cent BC) |
