With the moon walk, the religious myth that sustained these notions could no longer be held. With our view of earthrise, we could see that the earth and the heavens were no longer divided but that the earth is in the heavens. (105)

More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Privation and suffering alone open the mind to all that is hidden to others. (Igjugarjuk)
Joseph Campbell
Myths are so intimately bound to culture, time, and place that unless the symbols, the metaphors, are kept alive by constant recreation through the arts, the life just slips away from them.
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
Art is the set of wings to carry you out of your own entanglement.
Joseph Campbell
If you really want to help this world, what you will have to teach is how to live in it.
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
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
Joseph Campbell
Hell is life drying up.
Joseph Campbell
Regrets are illuminations come too late.
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 old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.
Joseph Campbell
The Garden is a metaphor for the following: our minds, and our thinking in terms of pairs of opposites--man and woman, good and evil--are as holy as that of a god. (50)
Joseph Campbell
He who thinks he knows, doesn't know. He who knows that he doesn't know, knows.
Joseph Campbell
The goal is to live with God like composure on the full rush of energy, like Dionysus riding the leopard, without being torn to pieces.
Joseph Campbell
Every act has both good and evil results. The best we can do is lean to the light.
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
Out of perfection nothing can be made. Every process involves breaking something up.
Joseph Campbell
I don't need faith. I have experience.
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
Your ego is your embodiment and your self is your potentiality and that's what you listen to when you listen for the voice of inspiration and the voice of 'What am I here for? What can I possibly make of myself?'
Joseph Campbell
