"It is the drive of the instincts that makes life worth living; without it, life is merely momentary and fragmentary. Is it this drive that gives life form and meaning... It is necessary to have some understanding in order to feel in harmony with life, and this is the reason why initiation rituals were conceived and established... When you take these rites from the people they lose their sense of life, and then they just go from one cigarette to the next, one drink to the next."
– Barbara Hannah, The Archetypal Symbolism of Animals
