Notes
-
Dedication: This book is dedicated to the memory of my father, Brian Sword, who taught me a lot about dragons and to never shy away from the difficult.
-
Epigraph: There is one thing stronger than all those armies of the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.
-
Epigraph: And if only we arrange our life in accordance with the principle which tells us that we must always trust in the difficult, then what now appears to us as the most alien will become our most itimate and trusted experience. How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love. Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet.
