“Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves.”

— Erich Fromm

As quoted in The New York Times (5 January 1964)
Context: Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written, we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world.
