“I know. I know how you see yourself, Dean. You see yourself the same way our enemies see you. You’re destructive and you’re angry and you’re broken. Daddy’s Blunt Instrument. And you think that hate and anger—that’s what drives you. That’s who you are. It’s not.”

“The hero may have to be brought back from his supernatural adventure by assistance from without.

The first problem of the returning hero is to accept as real, after an experience of the soul-satisfying vision of fulfillment, the passing joys and sorrows, banalities and noisy obscenities of life.”
