Avatar: The Godhead
In The Beginning
"Being a god is being able to recognize within one’s self these things that are
important, and then to strike the single note that brings them into alignment
with everything else that exists. Then, beyond morals or logic or esthetics,
one is wind or fire, the sea, the mountains, rain, the sun or the stars, the
flight of an arrow, the end of a day, the clasp of love. One rules through
one’s ruling passions. Those who look upon gods then say, without even
knowing their names, ‘He is Fire. She is Dance. He is Destruction. She is
Love.’ [...] they do not call themselves gods. Everyone else does, though,
everyone who beholds them." — Roger Zelazny, Lord of Light
