More quotes by Joseph Campbell
What will they think of me? Must be put aside for bliss
Joseph Campbell
The adventure of the hero is the adventure of being alive
Joseph Campbell
At the darkest moment comes the light.
Joseph Campbell
Anything you do has a still point. When you are in that still point, you can perform maximally.
Joseph Campbell
If you want resurrection, you must have crucifixion... The hoarder, the one in us that wants to keep, to hold on, must be killed.
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
If you're going to have a story, have a big story, or none at all.
Joseph Campbell
We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.
Joseph Campbell
The way to find out about your happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you really are happy-not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what I call following your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.
Joseph Campbell
The myth does not point to a fact the myth points beyond facts to something that informs the fact
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
Without passion, men are not willing to pay any price or bear any burden to set the captives free.
Joseph Campbell
We're all seeking...the rapture of being alive.
Joseph Campbell
A hero is not a champion of things become, but of things becoming the dragon to be slain by him is precisely the monster of the status quo.
Joseph Campbell
Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life
Joseph Campbell
An old Apache storyteller reminds us
Joseph Campbell
You yourself are participating in the evil, or you are not alive. Whatever you do is evil for somebody. This is one of the ironies of the whole creation.
Joseph Campbell
You are the Hero of your own Story.
Joseph Campbell
If you follow your bliss you will find a path laid out before you that has been waiting for you all along and you will begin to live the life you ought to be living.
Joseph Campbell
