- "The point of mythology or myth is to point to the horizon and to point back to ourselves: This is who we are; this is where we came from; and this is where we’re going. And a lot of Western society over the last hundred years – the last 50 years really – has lost that. We have become rather aimless and wandering."― J. Michael Straczynski
- "You can’t make up anything anymore. The world itself is a satire. All you’re doing is recording it."― Art Buchwald
- "There’s a reason why every human society has fiction. It teaches us how to be ‘good,’ to behave in a way that is for the benefit of the whole community."― Orson Scott Card
