"A humanity without mythology is a simple statistic, an average. Our natural science works with large averages, breaks everything down to averages, but the truth is that life is carried on by flesh-and-blood human beings and not by numbers. Statistics kill all unique characteristics from life, which is extremely depressing and unhealthy. It deprives people of their self-esteem, their most important life experiences, through which they can experience their own values and the creative power of their personality.

""Egy mitológia nélküli emberiség egyszerű statisztikai adat, átlag. Természettudományunk a nagy átlagokkal dolgozik, mindent átlagokra bont le, ám az igazság az, hogy az életet hús-vér emberi lények és nem számoszlopok viszik tovább. A statisztika minden egyedi jellegzetességet kiöl az életből, ami roppant lehangoló és egészségtelen. Megfosztja az embereket önbecsülésüktől, legfontosabb élettapasztalataiktól, melyek révén megtapasztalhatják önnön értékeiket és személyiségük teremtő erejét."
