More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.
Joseph Campbell
There is a condescension on the part of the infinite to the mind of man. That is what looks like God.
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
We are kept out of the Garden by our own fear and desire in relation to what we think to be the goods of our life.
Joseph Campbell
Eternity is not the hereafter...this is it. If you don't get it here you won't get it anywhere.
Joseph Campbell
There is no security in following the call to adventure.
Joseph Campbell
Participate joyfully in the sorrows of life
Joseph Campbell
Awe is what moves us forward.
Joseph Campbell
The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for.
Joseph Campbell
There's something inside you that knows when you're in the center, that knows when you're on the beam or off the beam. And if you get off the beam to earn money, you've lost your life. And if you stay in the center and don't get any money, you still have your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
We have today to learn to get back into accord with the wisdom of nature and realize again our brotherhood with the animals and with the water and the sea.
Joseph Campbell
The key to the Grail is compassion, 'suffering with,' feeling another's sorrow as if it were your own. The one who finds the dynamo of compassion is the one who's found the Grail.
Joseph Campbell
Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
Joseph Campbell
Wisdom and foolishness are practically the same. Both are indifferent to the opinions of the world
Joseph Campbell
If you see your path laid out in front of you - Step one, Step two, Step three - you only know one thing . . . it is not your path. Your path is created in the moment of action. If you can see it laid out in front of you, you can be sure it is someone else's path. That is why you see it so clearly.
Joseph Campbell
Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging. Negativism to the pain and ferocity of life is negativism to life. We are not there until we can say 'yea' to it all.
Joseph Campbell
First you must find your trajectory, and then comes the social coordination.
Joseph Campbell
You know, when real trouble comes your humanity is awakened. The fundamental human experience is that of compassion.
Joseph Campbell
The images of Myth are reflections of Spiritual and Depth potentialities of every one of us. Through contemplating those we evoke those powers in our own lives to operate through ourselves.
Joseph Campbell
The schizophrenic is drowning in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight. Edgar Cayce made the same observation in his readings
