More quotes by Joseph Campbell
This is an important point about symbols: they do not refer to historical events they refer through historical events to spiritual or psychological principles and powers that are of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and that are everywhere.
Joseph Campbell
Our true reality is in our identity and unity with all life.
Joseph Campbell
One looks, looks long, and the world comes in.
Joseph Campbell
The myth is the public dream and the dream is the private myth.
Joseph Campbell
The unconscious sends all sorts of vapors, odd beings, terrors, and deluding images up into the mind - whether in dream, broad daylight, or insanity: for the human kingdom, beneath the floor of the comparatively neat little dwelling that we call our consciousness, goes down into unsuspected Aladdin caves.
Joseph Campbell
The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight.
Joseph Campbell
Just as anyone who listens to the muse will hear, you can write out of your own intention or out of inspiration. There is such a thing. It comes up and talks. And those who have heard deeply the rhythms and hymns of the gods, can recite those hymns in such a way that the gods will be attracted.
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
The hero, therefore, is the man or woman who has been able to battle past his personal and local historical limitations.
Joseph Campbell
Every religion, every mythology is true in this sense: It is true as metaphorical of the human and cosmic mystery.
Joseph Campbell
The call to adventure signifies that destiny has summoned the hero.
Joseph Campbell
Man should not be in the service of society, society should be in the service of man. When man is in the service of society, you have a monster state, and that's what is threatening the world at this minute.
Joseph Campbell
Wisdom and foolishness are practically the same. Both are indifferent to the opinions of the world
Joseph Campbell
It is not society which is to guide and save the creative hero, but precisely the reverse.
Joseph Campbell
The seizure of passionate love can be, in such a context, only illicit, breaking in upon the order of one's dutiful life in virtue as a devastating storm.
Joseph Campbell
The idea of the Bodhisattva is the one who out of his realization of transcendence participates in the world. The imitation of Christ is joyful participation in the sorrows of the world.
Joseph Campbell
Life is like arriving late for a movie, having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions, and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends.
Joseph Campbell
The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for.
Joseph Campbell
The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.
Joseph Campbell
Once you know the difference between right and wrong, you have lots fewer decisions to make.
Joseph Campbell
