I think if she comes from anywhere that has a name, it is out of myth. And myth has been my study and joy ever since - oh, the age, I would think... of three. I've studied it all my life. No culture can satisfactorily move along its forward course without its myths, which are its teachings, its fundamental dealing with the truth of things, and the one reality that underlies everything. (P. L. Travers)
