More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Every hero must have the courage to be alone, to take the journey for himself.
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
Wars and temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignorance regrets are illuminations come too late.
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
Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.
Joseph Campbell
Heroism is a matter of integrity--beco ming more and more at each step ourselves.
Joseph Campbell
Whatever the hell happens, say, 'This is what I need.'
Joseph Campbell
If we fix on the old, we get stuck.
Joseph Campbell
Regrets are illuminations come too late.
Joseph Campbell
Your adventure has to be coming out of your own interior. If you are ready for it then doors will open where there were no doors before, and where there would not be doors for anyone else. And you must have courage. It's the call to adventure, which means there is no security, no rules.
Joseph Campbell
At such moments, you realize that you and the other are, in fact, one. It's a big realization. Survival is the second law of life. The first is that we are all one.
Joseph Campbell
Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
Joseph Campbell
The priests used to say that faith can move mountains, and nobody believed them. Today the scientists say that they can level mountains, and nobody doubts them.
Joseph Campbell
The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.
Joseph Campbell
Life will always be sorrowful. We can't change it, but we can change our attitude toward it.
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
The call to adventure is the point in a person’s life when they are first given notice that everything is going to change, whether they know it or not.
Joseph Campbell
If you're going to have a story, have a big story, or none at all.
Joseph Campbell
There's something inside you that knows when you're in the center, that knows when you're on the beam or off the beam. And if you get off the beam to earn money, you've lost your life. And if you stay in the center and don't get any money, you still have your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
