The most important question anyone can ask is: What myth am I living?
Ultimate truth, if there be such a thing, demands the concert of many voices.

Psychological type is nothing static - it changes in the course of life.

Dreaming is a philogenetically older mode of thought.
Words are animals, alive with a will of their own
One cannot free oneself by bowing to the yoke, but by breaking it.

The creative process is a living thing, implanted, as it were in the souls of men.
