Sep. 25th, 2009 09:14 amRandom quote of the day:
"Is not this, perhaps, the secret of every true and great mystery, that it is simple? Does it not love secrecy for that very reason? Proclaimed, it were but a word; kept silent it is being. And a miracle, too, in the sense that being with all its paradoxes is miraculous."
—C. Kerényi, “Epilegomena: The Miracle of Eleusis,” in The Science of Mythology (with Carl Jung)
