“A mythology is a system of images that incorporates a concept of the universe as a divinely energized ambiance within which we live. Do you understand what I am saying? And a myth then is a single element of the whole mythology, and the various stories of the mythology interlock – they interlock to be consistent within this great world image.”
~Joseph Campbell interviewed on Bill Moyers Journal, April 1981 (six years before
The Power of Myth interviews debuted on PBS)
