More quotes by Joseph Campbell
If you follow your bliss...the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living.
Joseph Campbell
Follow your bliss. The heroic life is living the individual adventure. There is no security in following the call to adventure. Nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be.
Joseph Campbell
Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.
Joseph Campbell
You have been thinking one way. Now you have to think a different way.
Joseph Campbell
A bit of advice Given to a young Native American At the time of his initiation: As you go the way of life, You will see a great chasm. Jump. It is not as wide as you think.
Joseph Campbell
I don’t think there is any such thing as an ordinary mortal. Everybody has his own possibility of rapture in the experience of life. All he has to do is recognize it and then cultivate it and get going with it. I always feel uncomfortable when people speak about ordinary mortals because I’ve never met an ordinary man, woman, or child.
Joseph Campbell
The familiar life horizon has been outgrown: the old concepts, ideals, and emotional patterns no longer fit the time for the passing of a threshold is at hand.
Joseph Campbell
You can't have creativity unless you leave behind the bounded, the fixed, all the rules
Joseph Campbell
You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or path, it is someone else's path. You are not on your own path. If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.
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
You are the Hero of your own Story.
Joseph Campbell
Life will always be sorrowful. We can't change it, but we can change our attitude toward it.
Joseph Campbell
Gods suppressed become devils, and often it is these devils whom we first encounter when we turn inward.
Joseph Campbell
The call to adventure signifies that destiny has summoned the hero.
Joseph Campbell
The senses are a kind of reason. Taste, touch and smell, hearing and seeing, are not merely a means to sensation, enjoyable or otherwise, but they are also a means to knowledge - and are, indeed, your only actual means to knowledge.
Joseph Campbell
Poetry comes out of an elite experience, the experience of people whose ears are opened to the song of the universe.
Joseph Campbell
Without passion, men are not willing to pay any price or bear any burden to set the captives free.
Joseph Campbell
At first you might find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred space and use it, eventually something will happen. Your sacred space is where you find yourself again and again.
Joseph Campbell
Don't do anything that isn't play
Joseph Campbell
The adventure evoked a quality of his character that he didn't know he possessed.
Joseph Campbell
