Joseph Campbell quote #134 from The Power of Myth

Shakespeare said that art is a mirror held up to nature. And thats what it is. The nature is your nature and all of these wonderful poetic images of mythology are referring to something in you. When your mind is trapped by the image out there so that you never make the reference to yourself you have misread the image.The inner world is the world of your requirements and your energies and your structure and your possibilities that meets the outer world. And the outer world is the field of your incarnation. Thats where you are. Youve got to keep both going. As Novalis said The seat of the soul is there where the inner and outer worlds meet.

Haruki Murakami quote #68 from A Wild Sheep Chase

There are symbolic dreams-- dreams that symbolize some reality. Then there are symbolic realities -- realities that symbolize a dream. Symbols are what you might call the honorary town councillors of the worm universe. In the worm universe there is nothing unusual about a dairy cow seeking a pair of pliers. A cow is bound to get her pliers sometime. It has nothing to do with me.
