I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
Joseph Campbell
If you follow your bliss...the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living.
Joseph Campbell
The eternal principle, which never was born, never will die: it is in all things: it is in you now. You are the wave on the face of the ocean. When the wave is gone, is the water gone? Has anything happened? Nothing has happened. It is a play, a game, a dance.
Joseph Campbell
The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.

Joseph Campbell
The perfect human being is uninteresting-the Buddha who leaves the world, you know. It is the imperfections of life that are lovable.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
Midlife is when you reach the top of the ladder and find that it was against the wrong wall.
Joseph Campbell
The priests used to say that faith can move mountains, and nobody believed them. Today the scientists say that they can level mountains, and nobody doubts them.
Joseph Campbell
Now I found it in writing sentences. You can write that sentence in a way that you would have written it last year. Or you can write it in the way of the exquisite nuance that is sriting in your mind now. But that takes a lot of ... waiting for the right word to come.
Joseph Campbell
Our life has become so economic and practical in its orientation that, as you get older, the claims of the moment upon you are so great, you hardly know where the hell you are, or what it is you intended. You are always doing something that is required of you. Where is your bliss station? You have to try to find it.
Joseph Campbell
If there were already a path, it would have to be someone else's the whole point is to find your own way.
Joseph Campbell
