" "Though fairy tales end after ten pages, our lives do not. We are multi-volume sets. In our lives, even though one episode amounts to a crash and burn, there is always another episode awaiting us and then another. There are always more opportunities to get it right, to fashion our lives in the ways we deserve to have them. Don’t waste your time hating a failure. Failure is a greater teacher than success. Listen, learn, go on. That is what we are doing with this tale. We are listening to its ancient message. We are learning about deteriorative patterns so we can go on with the strength of one who can sense the traps and cages and baits before we are upon them or caught in them.

Additional quotes by Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Así fue como comprendí que esta tierra, de la que dependía nuestro alimento, nuestra existencia, nuestro descanso y nuestra posibilidad de descubrir la belleza, tenia que ser tratada de la misma manera en que deseamos tratar a los demás y a nosotros mismos. Cualquier cosa que le ocurra a ese campo también nos ocurre en cierto modo a nosotros.

When we are untangling this nature, it would be good for us to sing something like this: What must I give more death to today, in order to generate more life? What do I know should die, but am hesitant to allow to do so? What must die in me in order for me to love? What not-beauty do I fear? Of what use is the power of the not-beautiful to me today? What should die today? What should live? What life am I afraid to give birth to? If not now, when?
