“Myths do not happen all at once. They do not spring forth whole into the world. They form slowly, rolled between the hands of time until their edges smooth, until the saying of the story gives enough weight to the words—to the memories—to keep them rolling on their own.”
― V.E. Schwab, A Conjuring of Light

“I believe the human estate is both imbricated with and periodically overmatched by a cosmos composed of multiple, interacting force fields moving at different speeds. We are today at least as closely implicated in several nonhuman force fields as the city of Lisbon found itself to be with that earthquake, tsunami, and fire. In a world more scientifically and technically advanced, we are not that much better equipped culturally, philosophically, politically, or spiritually to address these entanglements.”

“Time after time, history demonstrates that when people don’t want to believe something, they have enormous skills of ignoring it altogether.”
― Jim Butcher, The Dresden Files Books 7-12

“I have contended in Capitalism and Christianity, American Style that many anxious white males in the working and middle classes seek models of masculinity with whom to identify in a world of uncertainty. Corporate elites, sports heroes, financial wizards, and military leaders project images of independence, mastery, and virility that can make them attractive models of identification, whereas state welfare programs, market regulations, retirement schemes, and health care, while essential to life, may remind too many of the very fragilities, vulnerabilities, susceptibilities, and dependencies they strive to deny or forget.”
