Why myths?

Edwards: Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.
Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.

Edwards: What's the catch?
Kay: The catch? The catch is you will sever every human contact. Nobody will ever know you exist anywhere. Ever. I'll give you to sunrise to think it over.

[starts walking away]

Edwards: [shouting after Kay] Hey! Is it worth it?
Kay: Oh yeah, it's worth it...
[starts walking again, stops and turns back briefly]
Kay: ... if you're strong enough!

Die Reise des Helden

"Wir müssen das Abenteuer nicht allein riskieren; denn die Helden aller Zeiten sind uns vorausgegangen; das Labyrinth ist wohl bekannt; wir müssen nur den Fäden des Helden-Pfads folgen. Und wo wir glaubten, einen Greuel zu finden, werden wir einen Gott finden; wo wir dachten, einen anderen zu töten, werden wir uns selbst umbringen; wo wir dachten, nach aussen zu reisen, werden wir ins Zentrum unserer eigenen Existenz geführt; wo wir dachten, allein zu sein, werden wir mit der ganzen Welt zusammen sein.“  

~ Joseph Campbell

finding Dory

If you find yourself, you found ... home!
But first you have to forget everything you think to know about yourself; you have to get lost, to find what is impossible to achieve.
