“I feel myself driven towards an end that I do not know. As soon as I shall have reached it, as soon as I shall become unnecessary, an atom will suffice to shatter me. Till then, not all the forces of mankind can do anything against me.”
— Napoleon
“Nature influenced the birth of Art by leaving man — its creator — to the conditions that were bound to awaken his self-consciousness. For Art, in its highest expression, is the thoughtful culmination and conscious reunification with Nature as perceived by man.”
— Richard Wagner
Bacchante: We’re simple people, Orpheus. Here we believe in love and death; we laugh and feel sorrow with others. Our most joyful festivals are those in which blood flows. The women of Thrace are not afraid of things like this.
― Orphée by Jean Cocteau (1926)
Venus with Doves
— Francesco Hayez, 1830
“The primary deity was probably a thunder god represented by stone stelae carved in the shape of a man holding a battle-ax, as well as by the many ceremonial battle-axes found in kurgans. The god's power and virility could be heard in the thunder and seen in the lightning, in the heavenly battle which brought rain to the pastures of the steppes and—by a simple extension—victory to men in battle. His signs which ornamented weapons—were of the sky: swirling swastika sun disks and lightning zigzags. His original name, according to the some linguists, was Dyeus; later he became Zeus in Greece, Deus in India, Jupiter in Rome.”
― Shannon E. French & John McCain, Code of the Warrior

“After all, I believe that legends and myths are largely made of ‘truth’, and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
