Joseph Campbell
Every act has both good and evil results. The best we can do is lean to the light.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
Gods suppressed become devils, and often it is these devils whom we first encounter when we turn inward.
Joseph Campbell
When you realize that eternity is right here now, that it is within your possibility to experience the eternity of your own truth and being, then you grasp the following: That which you are was never born and will never die. . . . (90)
Joseph Campbell
Make your god transparent to the transcendent, and it doesn't matter what his name is.
Joseph Campbell
Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging. Negativism to the pain and ferocity of life is negativism to life. We are not there until we can say 'yea' to it all.
Joseph Campbell
You can't have creativity unless you leave behind the bounded, the fixed, all the rules

Joseph Campbell
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
Joseph Campbell
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
Joseph Campbell
You don't have to believe that there was a King Arthur to get the significance of those stories, but Christians say we have to believe there was a Christ, or the miracles don't make sense.
