More quotes by Joseph Campbell
The Deadheads are doing the dance of life and this I would say is the answer to the atom bomb.
Joseph Campbell
Anything you do has a still point. When you are in that still point, you can perform maximally.
Joseph Campbell
Life will always be sorrowful. We can't change it, but we can change our attitude toward it.
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
Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths. We must be willing to get rid of the life we planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. I have bought this wonderful machine — a computer ... it seems to me to be an Old Testament god, with a lot of rules and no mercy.
Joseph Campbell
The god you worship is the one you're capable of becoming.
Joseph Campbell
You've got to say yes to this miracle of life as it is, not on condition that it follow your rules.
Joseph Campbell
The problem in our society and in our schools is to inclulcate, without overdoing it, the notion of education, as in the Latin educere--to lead, to bring out what is in someone rather than merely to indoctrinate him/her from the outside. (89)
Joseph Campbell
There is no make-believe about heaven, future bliss, and compensation, to alleviate the bitter majesty, but only utter darkness, the void of unfulfillment, to receive and eat back the lives that have been tossed forth from the womb only to fail.
Joseph Campbell
We're all seeking...the rapture of being alive.
Joseph Campbell
Eternity isn't some later time. Eternity isn't a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now which thinking and time cuts out. This is it. And if you don't get it here, you won't get it anywhere. And the experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life.
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
Joseph Campbell
You've got to find the force inside you.
Joseph Campbell
In meditating, meditate on your own divinity. The goal of life is to be a vehicle for something higher. Keep your eyes up there between the world of opposites watching your 'play' in the world.Let the world be as it is and learn to rock with the waves.
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 big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.
Joseph Campbell
You are the Hero of your own Story.
Joseph Campbell
The role of the artist I now understood as that of revealing through the world-surfaces the implicit forms of the soul, and the great agent to assist the artist was the myth.
Joseph Campbell
The hero, whether god or goddess, man or woman, the figure in a myth or the dreamer of a dream discovers and assimilates his opposite (his own unsuspected self) either by swallowing it or by being swallowed.
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
