More quotes by Joseph Campbell
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
This is an important point about symbols: they do not refer to historical events they refer through historical events to spiritual or psychological principles and powers that are of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and that are everywhere.
Joseph Campbell
Art is the set of wings to carry you out of your own entanglement.
Joseph Campbell
What am I? Am I the bulb that carries the light, or am I the light of which the bulb is a vehicle?
Joseph Campbell
The Greeks, it will be recalled, regarded Eros, the god of love, as the eldest of the gods but also as the youngest, born fresh and dewy-eyed in every living heart.
Joseph Campbell
The Deadheads are doing the dance of life and this I would say is the answer to the atom bomb.
Joseph Campbell
It is not society which is to guide and save the creative hero, but precisely the reverse.
Joseph Campbell
First you must find your trajectory, and then comes the social coordination.
Joseph Campbell
Have you ever looked inside one of those things [computers]? It's a whole hierarchy of angels- all on slats. And those little tubes-those are miracles.
Joseph Campbell
The way to find out about your happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you really are happy-not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what I call following your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
Our demons are our own limitations, which shut us off from the realization of the ubiquity of the spirit . . . each of these demons is conquered in a vision quest.
Joseph Campbell
If you follow your bliss you will find a path laid out before you that has been waiting for you all along and you will begin to live the life you ought to be living.
Joseph Campbell
Religon is misunderstood mythology
Joseph Campbell
Hell is life drying up.
Joseph Campbell
Within the field of a secular society, which is a sort of neutral frame that allows individuals to develop their own lives, so long as they don't annoy their neighbors too much, each of us has an individual myth that's driving us, which we may or may not know.
Joseph Campbell
It may be a species of impudence to think that the way you understand God is the way God is. (60).
Joseph Campbell
Freud tells us to blame our parents for all the shortcomings of our life, Marx tells us to blame the upper class of our society. But the only one to blame is oneself.
Joseph Campbell
The myth does not point to a fact the myth points beyond facts to something that informs the fact
Joseph Campbell
Mythology is the womb of mankind's initiation to life and death.
Joseph Campbell
Love is the burning point of life, and since all life is sorrowful, so is love. The stronger the love, the more the pain. Love itself is pain, you might say -the pain of being truly alive.
Joseph Campbell
