“I was writing very early, like I was involved in our high school literary magazine, which was called 'Pariah.' The football team was the Bears, and the literary magazine was 'Pariah.' It was great.

“A culture-bearing book, like a mule, bears the culture on its back. No one should sit down to write one deliberately. Culture-bearing books appear almost accidentally, like a sudden surge in the stock market. There are books of high quality that are a part of the culture, but that is not the same. They are a part of it. They aren't carrying it anywhere. They may talk about insanity sympathetically, for example, because that's the standard cultural attitude. But they don't carry any suggestion that insanity might be something other than sickness or degeneracy.” ShouldWritingMayBookMightCultureAttitudeQualityExampleBearsStandardsIndependenceInsanitySicknessSuggestionsHigh QualityMules Author:Robert M.

“Among archetypal images, the Sacred Tree is one of the most widely know symbols on Earth. There are few cultures in which the Sacred Tree does not figure: as an image of the cosmos, as a dwelling place of gods or spirits, as a medium of prophecy and knowledge, and as an agent of metamorphoses when the tree is transformed into human or divine form or when it bears a divine or human image as its fruit or flowers.” KnowsHumansDoeEarthFormSpiritCultureTreeFiguresDivineFlowerBearsSacredFruitMediumsSymbolsAgentsCosmosTransformedProphecyDwellingMetamorphosisDwelling Place Author:Christopher McDowell
