"Magic occurs in the dark, indeed in darkness itself, while myth occurs in the night and dreams where a twilight is already present."
Jean Gebser, 2012: The Return of Queztacoatl

On Myth
"Myths are the institutions of the mind. They have an organic life of their own; they remain alive despite fact and reason, despite evidence and proof. Bored by the commonplace, we dream of broken hearts and undying loyalties; gnawed by materialism and expedience, we relish the extraordinary, we are bewitched by the exotic, we dream of dedication to ethereal abstractions."
