Barbara Myerhoff Quotes
[Ritual] Dwells In An Invisible Reality And Gives This Reality A Vocabulary, Props, Costume, Gesture, Scenery. Ritual Makes Things Separate, Sets Them Apart From Ordinary Affairs And Thoughts. Rituals Need Not Be Solemn, But They Are Formalized, Stylized, Extraordinary, And Artificial. In The Name Of Ritual, We Can Do Anything. We Can Do Astonishing Acts. In The End, Ritual Gives Us Assurance About The Unification Of Things.
