“See that little red dot up there? That’s Ma’adim." Ištar followed his gaze. "All the damage we caused with our callousness—the air pollution, the ground pollution, and the water pollution. We were so arrogant. How we treated our planet. Never thinking about the future. It was supposed to fix everything. You know that device that killed our planet? I helped design the energy lattice," Enki whispered. "To fix our planet." Ištar frowned. "The Planet-Killer?" Enki nodded, eyes never leaving the sky. "We called it the Tablet of Destinies.

“The image of a man deliberately constraining his freedom in order to achieve a greater goal resonates powerfully through the ages. We may not face singing sirens on a remote isle, but every person harbors their own sirens—alluring distractions and destructive temptations.

The great snowman was white, except where his own parts cast white-violet shadows, in the pits of his arms, in his monstrous nostrils, under his knees. The new gods hacked and laughed. Blood spurted from the wounds they made, poured from his neck over his shoulders, slid like a hot garment over his chest and flanks, flowed, flowed, filled the glass ball with running crimson, and drowned the world.

“When we look back at that text [the Bible], it is a text that speaks of man as superior to nature, man’s mastery over nature as being what was given to him. Compare that with the words of Chief Seattle. This is the difference between mythology as a petrifact, something that has dried up, is dead, and is not working, and mythology as something that is working.
