More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Eternity is not the hereafter...this is it. If you don't get it here you won't get it anywhere.
Joseph Campbell
Every act has both good and evil results. The best we can do is lean to the light.
Joseph Campbell
There is no greater privilege in life than being yourself.
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
If you really want to help this world, what you will have to teach is how to live in it.
Joseph Campbell
Change the focus of the eye. When you have done that, then the end of the world as you formerly knew it will have occurred, and you will experience the radiance of the divine presence everywhere, here and now.
Joseph Campbell
He who thinks he knows, doesn't know. He who knows that he doesn't know, knows.
Joseph Campbell
God is an intelligible sphere-a sphere known to mind, not to the senses-whose center is everywhere and whose circumference nowhere.
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
The hero, therefore, is the man or woman who has been able to battle past his personal and local historical limitations.
Joseph Campbell
Participate joyfully in the sorrows of life
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
Anything you do has a still point. When you are in that still point, you can perform maximally.
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
You don't ask what a dance means. You enjoy it. You don't ask what the world means. You enjoy it. You don't ask what you mean. You enjoy it.
Joseph Campbell
Your adventure has to be coming out of your own interior. If you are ready for it then doors will open where there were no doors before, and where there would not be doors for anyone else. And you must have courage. It's the call to adventure, which means there is no security, no rules.
Joseph Campbell
If you can see your path clearly in front of you, it's probably someone else's.
Joseph Campbell
The ultimate dreamer is Vishnu floating on the cosmic Milky Ocean, couched upon the coils of the abyssal serpent Ananta, the meaning of whose name is Unending. In the foreground stand the five Pandava brothers, heroes of the epic Mahabharata, with Draupadi, their wife: allegorically, she is the mind and they are the five senses.
Joseph Campbell
Poetry comes out of an elite experience, the experience of people whose ears are opened to the song of the universe.
Joseph Campbell
What is a god? A god is a personification of a motivating power of a value system that functions in human life and in the universe.
Joseph Campbell
