Joseph Campbell
We're all seeking...the rapture of being alive.
Joseph Campbell
There's always the possibility of a fiasco. But there's also the possibility of bliss.
Joseph Campbell
You know, when real trouble comes your humanity is awakened. The fundamental human experience is that of compassion.
Joseph Campbell
Poets are simply those who have made a profession and a lifestyle of being in touch with their bliss.
Joseph Campbell
Every hero must have the courage to be alone, to take the journey for himself.
Joseph Campbell
Without passion, men are not willing to pay any price or bear any burden to set the captives free.
Joseph Campbell
One of our problems today is that we are not well acquainted with the literature of the spirit. We re interested in the news of the day and the problems of the hour.
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
