"The goddess Artemis had a twin brother, Apollo, the many-faceted god of the Sun.

-- Jean Shinoda Bolen

“It is some disaster for any mind to hold any one thing for truth that is untrue, however insignificant it be, or however honestly it be held. It is a greater disaster when the false prejudice bars the way to some truth behind it, which, but for it, would find an entrance to the soul; and the greatness of the disaster will in this case be measured by the importance of the excluded truth.”
