We have not even to risk the journey alone, for the heroes of all
times have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known.
We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, and where we
had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a God *.
And where we sought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves.
Where we had thought to travel outward, we will have come to the
center of our existence. And where we had thought to be alone, we
will be with all the world.
Joseph Campbell
The Hero with a Thousand Faces
