Those whom we transform into myth are themselves myth-ridden

From Momma and the Meaning of Life: Tales of Psychotherapy, by Irvin Yalom pg 81:

Strange, I mused as I watched the van drive away, that I, who have devoted my life to apprehending the world of the other, have not, until Magnolia, truly understand that those whom we transform into myth are themselves myth-ridden. They despair; they mourn the death of a mother; they search for the exalted; they too rage against life and may need to maim themselves to be done with giving.
