We have not even to risk the adventure alone,
for the Heroes of all time have gone before us.
The Labyrinth is thoroughly known,
we have only to follow the thread of the Hero path.
And where we thought to find an abomination,
we shall find a God.
And where we had thought to slay another,
we shall slay ourselves.
And where we had thought to travel outward,
we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone,
we shall be with all the World.
-Joseph Campbell
The answer is never the answer.
What's really interesting is the mystery.
If you seek the mystery instead of the answer,
you'll always be seeking.
I've never seen anybody really find the answer
- they think they have, so they stop thinking.
But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery,
plant a garden in which strange plants grow
and mysteries bloom.
The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.
-Ken Kesey
