Alan W. Watts Quotes
At One Extreme Of Its Meaning, "myth" Is Fable, Falsehood, Or Superstition. But At Another, "myth" Is A Useful And Fruitful Image By Which We Make Sense Of Life In Somewhat The Same Way That We Can Explain Electrical Forces By Comparing Them With The Behavior Of Water Or Air. Yet "myth," In This Second Sense, Is Not To Be Taken Literally, Just As Electricity Is Not To Be Confused With Air Or Water. Thus In Using Myth One Must Take Care Not To Confuse Image With Fact, Which Would Be Like Climbing Up The Signpost Instead Of Following The Road.
