“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”
Dear reader, these words (in a different form) were said by mythologist, researcher, writer, and monumental influence on popular culture: Joseph Campbell.
I love a great quote. The art of memorable words relies on the ability to say so much with so little.
This is true of all art. A great scene in a story represents much more to us than whatever is taking place. All art is one thing that is genuinely symbolic of a much larger thing.
