“If
we deny our children their historical, cultural heritage, their birthright
to these stories, what then? Instead of creating men and women who have
a grasp of literary allusion and symbolic language, and a metaphorical
tool for dealing with the serious problems of life, we will be creating
stunted boys and girls who speak only a barren language, a language that
accurately reflects their equally barren minds.”

“Myth
must be kept alive. The people who can keep it alive are the artists of
one kind or another. The function of the artist is the mythologization
of the environment and the world.”
