-
“The Hero's Journey is first about taking a journey to find the treasure of your true self.”
-
“Stories about heroes are deep and eternal. They link our own longing and pain and passion with those who have come before in such a way that we learn something about the essence of what it means to be human, and they also teach us how we are connected to the great cycles of the natural and spiritual worlds.”

-
“Heroism is also not just about finding a new truth, but about having the courage to act on that vision.”
-

-
“The inner guides are archetypes that have been with us since the dawn of time.”
-
“For some people, the whole area of the inner life is an undiscovered country.”
-
“To the degree that you have not allowed a particular archetype into your life as a guide, it is likely to trip you up as a dragon.”
