More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Mephistopheles, the machine man, can provide us with all the means, and is thus likely to determine the aims of life as well. But of course the characteristic of Faust, which makes him eligible to be saved, is that he seeks aims that are not those of the machine.
Joseph Campbell
There's nothing you can do that's more important than being fulfilled. You become a sign, you become a signal, transparent to transcendence in this way, you will find, live, and become a realization of your own personal myth.
Joseph Campbell
The idea of the Bodhisattva is the one who out of his realization of transcendence participates in the world. The imitation of Christ is joyful participation in the sorrows of the world.
Joseph Campbell
The call to adventure is the point in a person’s life when they are first given notice that everything is going to change, whether they know it or not.
Joseph Campbell
We're all seeking...the rapture of being alive.
Joseph Campbell
A hero is not a champion of things become, but of things becoming the dragon to be slain by him is precisely the monster of the status quo.

Joseph Campbell
Hell is life drying up.
Joseph Campbell
Man should not be in the service of society, society should be in the service of man. When man is in the service of society, you have a monster state, and that's what is threatening the world at this minute.
Joseph Campbell
What we are really living for is the experience of life, both the pain and the pleasure.
Joseph Campbell
Make your god transparent to the transcendent, and it doesn't matter what his name is.
Joseph Campbell
Computers are like Old Testament gods lots of rules and no mercy.
Joseph Campbell
Without passion, men are not willing to pay any price or bear any burden to set the captives free.
Joseph Campbell
If you are on the right path you will find that invisible hands are helping.
Joseph Campbell
The adventure evoked a quality of his character that he didn't know he possessed.
Joseph Campbell
When you follow your bliss, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you.
Joseph Campbell
He must put aside his pride, his virtue, beauty and life and bow or submit to the absolutely intolerable.
Joseph Campbell
Life will always be sorrowful. We can't change it, but we can change our attitude toward it.
Joseph Campbell
You have been thinking one way. Now you have to think a different way.
Joseph Campbell
Life is like arriving late for a movie, having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions, and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends.
Joseph Campbell
