“Fact and myth are history’s bedfellows; it’s hard
to wake one without disturbing the other.”
J.G. McKenney, The Book Knights

“Any good librarian knows the reader doesn't choose the book, the book chooses the reader.”
J.G. McKenney, The Book Knights

Topics Mentioning This Author

“We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree; but the whole, of which these are shining parts, is the soul.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays and English Traits

“Any good librarian knows the reader doesn't choose the book, the book chooses the reader.”
J.G. McKenney, The Book Knights

“You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don’t know what was in the newspapers that morning, you don’t know who your friends are, you don’t know what you owe anybody, you don’t know what anybody owes to you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation. At first you may find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it, something eventually will happen.”
Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
