‎The struggle of maturity is to recover the seriousness of a child at play. - Friedrich Nietzsche

The domestication (the culture) of man does not go deep — where it does go deep it at once becomes degeneration (type: the Christian). The 'savage' (or, in moral terms, the evil man) is a return to nature — and in a certain sense his recovery, his cure from 'culture'.

To leave is to suffer,to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

Because of the way that myth takes it for granted that miracles are always happening, the waking life of a mythically inspired people — the ancient Greeks, for instance — more closely resembles a dream than it does the waking world of a scientifically disenchanted thinker.
