Quote by J.R.R. Tolkien

“Then was the keeper of the barrow swollen with wrath, purposing, fell beast, with fire to avenge his precious drinking-vessel. Now was the day faded to the serpent's joy. No longer would he tarry on the mountain-side, but went blazing forth, sped with fire. Terrible for the people in that land was the beginning (of that war), even as the swift and bitter came its end upon their lord and patron. Now the invader did begin to spew forth glowing fires and set ablaze the shining halls -- the light of the burning leapt forth to the woe of men.”

“In truth we have been so preoccupied with the outer aspects of mythology that we have failed to realize that it is the inner, the subjective, dimension of mythology that is the potent healing place in each individual. The journey, once told, is what we take mythology to be. But the myth came forth spontaneously in a human being before it ever became a story told. And it came forth for the purposes of healing and growing that individual; it was a specific, unique, personal experience." . . . By developing an open and direct relationship with our deep imagination, we open ourselves to that wisdom that dwells in aliveness itself. The deep imagination carries within itself the potential of all experience. Not just the experience of this short lifetime that we take to be our own, individually, but the experience of that entire path that aliveness has traversed from the very beginning, from the origin of life itself." - Eligio Stephen Gallegos, PhD, Into Wholeness: The Path of Deep Imagery”

“तीनेक हजार वर्षापूर्वी तुम्हा हिंदूप्रमाणेच आमचेही अनेक देव होते. त्यांचं वागणं खूपसं मानवासारखं होतं. ते रागवा- रुसायचे. संतुष्ट होऊन आशीर्वाद द्यायचे. ते इथंच माउंट ऑलिम्पसवर राहायचे तरी तिथून खाली उतरून आपण वावरतो तसेच ते लोकांमधे मिसळायचे. खाय-प्यायचे. त्यानंतर आलेल्या गंभीर प्रकृतीच्या किहॅनिटीनं ते बदलून टाकलं. पण मूळची भाषा, देव, तत्त्वज्ञान, कला-कल्पना आणि प्रवृत्ती यांचा कायमचा ठसा आमच्यावरच नव्हे तर सबंध पाश्चिमात्य संस्कृतीवर उमटलेला आहे. भाषेचंच बघ ना. नुसतं इंग्लिश पाहिलं तरी त्यातले वीस टक्के शब्द ग्रीक आहेत किंवा ग्रीकवरून आलेले आहेत.”
