Mythology

"Oh for shame, how mortals put the blame upon us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given..."

Gertrude Stein

"I am writing for myself and strangers. This is the only way that I can do it."

"Our mind is capable of passing beyond the dividing line we have drawn for it.
Beyond the pairs of opposites of which the world consists, other, new
insights begin."
Herman Hesse

"There was once a man, Harry, called the Steppenwolf. He went on two legs, wore clothes, and was a human being, but nevertheless, he was in reality, a wolf of the Steppes."

"I like freaks," Biff said. Carson McCullers

                          THE ANTS were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected in the summertime. A Grasshopper, perishing
                          with famine, passed by and earnestly begged for a little food. The Ants inquired of him, "Why did you not treasure up
                          food during the summer?' He replied, "I had not leisure enough. I passed the days in singing." They then said in
                          derision: "If you were foolish enough to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the winter."

Or in French

La Cigale, ayant chanté
              Tout l'été,
              Se trouva fort dépourvue
              Quand la bise fut venue :
              Pas un seul petit morceau
              De mouche ou de vermisseau.
              Elle alla crier famine
              Chez la Fourmi sa voisine,
              La priant de lui prêter
              Quelque grain pour subsister
              Jusqu'à la saison nouvelle.
              "Je vous paierai, lui dit-elle,
              Avant l'Oût, foi d'animal,
              Intérêt et principal. "
              La Fourmi n'est pas prêteuse :
              C'est là son moindre défaut.
              Que faisiez-vous au temps chaud ?
              Dit-elle à cette emprunteuse.
              - Nuit et jour à tout venant
              Je chantais, ne vous déplaise.
              - Vous chantiez ? j'en suis fort aise.
              Eh bien! dansez maintenant.
