Text ID: All of me is writing to you and I feel the taste of being and the taste-of-you...

And then—you walked in.

You, with your glittering chaos.

The oracle who keeps unfolding

Can I still be good and want you?

Marcel Proust, from a letter featured in The Selected Letters of Marcel Proust

Samuel Beckett, letter to Morris Sinclair (March 4th, 1934), The Letters of Samuel Beckett, Vol. I: 1929-1940 [ID'd]

All mythological ideas are essentially real, and far older than any philosophy. Like our knowledge of physical nature, they were originally perceptions and experiences. In so far as such ideas are universal, they are symptoms or characteristics or normal exponents of psychic life, which are naturally present and need no proof of their truth.

— Carl Jung
