More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Don't do anything that isn't play
Joseph Campbell
One looks, looks long, and the world comes in.
Joseph Campbell
I think of mythology as the homeland of the muses, the inspirers of art, the inspirers of poetry. To see life as a poem and yourself participating in a poem is what the myth does for you.
Joseph Campbell
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
Joseph Campbell
The adventure evoked a quality of his character that he didn't know he possessed.
Joseph Campbell
All life stinks and you must embrace that with compassion.
Joseph Campbell
There is no greater privilege in life than being yourself.
Joseph Campbell
There's nothing you can do that's more important than being fulfilled. You become a sign, you become a signal, transparent to transcendence in this way, you will find, live, and become a realization of your own personal myth.
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
There is no make-believe about heaven, future bliss, and compensation, to alleviate the bitter majesty, but only utter darkness, the void of unfulfillment, to receive and eat back the lives that have been tossed forth from the womb only to fail.
Joseph Campbell
Eternity isn't some later time. Eternity isn't a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now which thinking and time cuts out. This is it. And if you don't get it here, you won't get it anywhere. And the experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life.
Joseph Campbell
Every people is a chosen people in its own mind. And it is rather amusing that their name for themselves usually means mankind.
Joseph Campbell
If there were already a path, it would have to be someone else's the whole point is to find your own way.
Joseph Campbell
I think of compassion as the fundamental religious experience and, unless that is there, you have nothing.
Joseph Campbell
You've got to say yes to this miracle of life as it is, not on condition that it follow your rules.
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
The god you worship is the one you're capable of becoming.
Joseph Campbell
The myth does not point to a fact the myth points beyond facts to something that informs the fact
Joseph Campbell
So that's what destiny is: simply the fulfillment of the potentialites of the energies in your own system.
Joseph Campbell
Heroism is a matter of integrity--beco ming more and more at each step ourselves.
Joseph Campbell
