Myth is neither right nor wrong, logical nor contradictory. It has its birth in another sphere where consistency, truth, and reality are measured by other standards. This sphere is intuition and experience. . . . [which] does not mean that myth is ambiguous, equivocal, or deceptive. The incompatibility of contradictory meanings is characteristic of logic and reason, not of intuition and experience. The myth conceals many meanings, the interrelations of which may vary and appear difficult to understand. This is due to the fact that the myth stems from strata of the soul deeper than consciousness and therefore beyond the reach of our thought.

~ Ruth Nanda Anshen

Logic is immaturity weaving its nets of gossamer
wherewith it aims to catch the behemoth of knowledge.
Logic is a crutch for the cripple,
but a burden for the swift of foot
and a greater burden still for the wise.

~ Mikhail Naimy
