"In my opinion, a mind is healthy when it can perform symbolic acts within mental frameworks which are not immediately obvious.
A mind is diseased when it no longer comprehends this kind of linkage and refuses to acknowledge any basis for such symbolic thinking.
The twentieth century specializes in producing diseased minds of the type I refer to - minds which uniquely combine ignorance with arrogance.
The twentieth century's hard core hyper rationalist would deride a theory of correspondences in daily life and ritual as 'primitive superstition'.
However, the rationalist's comment is not one upon symbolic thinking but upon himself, acting as a label to define him as one of the walking dead."
