“Why is Melancholy like Honey? Because it is very sweet, and it is culled from Flowers.”
Hope Mirrlees, Lud-in-the-Mist

John Truby
“Desire never stops. Equilibrium is temporary. The self-revelation is never simple, and it cannot guarantee the hero a satisfying life from that day forward. since a great story is always a living thing, its ending is no more final and certain than any other part of the story.”
John Truby, The Anatomy of Story: 22 Steps to Becoming a Master Storyteller

Hope Mirrlees
“Was it possible that Ranulph, too, was a real person, a person inside whose mind things happened? He had thought that he himself was the only real person in a field of human flowers. For Master Nathaniel that was a moment of surprise, triumph, tenderness, alarm.”
Hope Mirrlees, Lud-in-the-Mist

“We must live in stories. It must be a path we walk, part of the glue that holds us together. Individuals must unite themselves to a body well-formed in love so that we grow up into the logos himself, who is the head. Without that extra step, we will ultimately be dispersed like smoke like wax before the fire.”
Jonathan Pageau

Lord Byron

Which glibly glides from every vulgar tongue
When any dare a new light to present:
'If you are right, then everybody's wrong.'
Suppose the converse of this precedent
So often urged, so loudly and so long:
'If you are wrong, then everybody's right.'
Was ever everybody yet so quite?”
George Gordon Byron, Don Juan
