Myths Aren't Fairy Tales

On the intellectual side of religion and spirituality we are still dwelling in the lingering shadow of medieval night, hypnotized and victimized by superstition of the weirdest types flaunted from pulpit and seminary. This beclouded day of gloom will continue as long as we have not the acumen to dissociate sublime myth, allegory, drama and symbol from the dregs of history.

Alvin Boyd Kuhn, Who Is This King of Glory

Those who lack discrimination may quote the letter of the Scripture, but they are denying its inner truth.

The Bhagavad Gita

Myth is what never was, yet always is.

Joseph Campbell
