More quotes by Joseph Campbell
The creative act is not hanging on, but yielding to a new creative movement. Awe is what moves us forward.
Joseph Campbell
Through dreams a door is opened to mythology, since myths are of the nature of dreams, and that, as dreams arise from an inward world unknown to waking consciousness, so do myths: so, indeed, does life.
Joseph Campbell
There is what I would call the hero journey, the night sea journey, the hero quest, where the individual is going to bring forth in his life something that was never beheld before.
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

Joseph Campbell
Where you stumble and fall, there you will find gold.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
The god you worship is the one you're capable of becoming.
Joseph Campbell
What's made up in the head is the fiction. What comes out of the heart is a myth.
Joseph Campbell
Eternity is not future or past. Eternity is a dimension of now. It is a dimension of the human spirit -- which is eternal. Find that eternal dimension in yourself, and you will ride through time, and throughout the whole length of your days.
Joseph Campbell
Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.
Joseph Campbell
Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.
Joseph Campbell
The adventure that the hero is ready for is the one he gets.
Joseph Campbell
Hell is life drying up.
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
