Quote #10

There is no final system for the interpretation of myths, and there will never be any such thing. (353.1)

Everything is a cycle, and when the cycle renews, it's never quite the same as it was before. Traditions change to meet new needs, and each generation figures out its own way of expressing itself. That's why there won't be any final word, and why the thread of traditions and customs links us to the past but doesn't bind us to it. It's how we move forward without forgetting what's behind. Pretty nifty trick, Joe.
