"A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity.

It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem."

-- Andre Maurois

In fact the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious. We can see this most clearly if we look at the heavenly constellations, whose originally chaotic forms are organized through the projection of images. This explains the influence of the stars as asserted by astrologers. These influences are nothing but unconscious instrospective perceptions of the collective unconscious.”
