More quotes by Joseph Campbell
He must put aside his pride, his virtue, beauty and life and bow or submit to the absolutely intolerable.
Joseph Campbell
The last act in the biography of the hero is that of the death or departure.
Joseph Campbell
Hell is life drying up.
Joseph Campbell
Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower.
Joseph Campbell
The entire heavenly realm is within us, but to find it we have to relate to what's outside.
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
Whatever the hell happens, say, 'This is what I need.'
Joseph Campbell
The ultimate dragon is within you, it is your ego clamping you down.
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
How teach again, however, what has been taught correctly and incorrectly learned a thousand thousand times, throughout the millenniums of mankind's prudent folly? That is the hero's ultimate difficult task.
Joseph Campbell
There is a condescension on the part of the infinite to the mind of man. That is what looks like God.
Joseph Campbell
Questing... is not an ego trip it is an adventure to bring into fulfillment your gift to the world, which is yourself.
Joseph Campbell
The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. Fear of the unknown is our greatest fear. Many of us would enter a tiger's lair before we would enter a dark cave. While caution is a useful instinct, we lose many opportunities and much of the adventure of life if we fail to support the curious explorer within us.
Joseph Campbell
If you want resurrection, you must have crucifixion... The hoarder, the one in us that wants to keep, to hold on, must be killed.
Joseph Campbell
Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
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
If you want the whole thing, the gods will give it to you. But you must be ready for it.
Joseph Campbell
If you see your path laid out in front of you - Step one, Step two, Step three - you only know one thing . . . it is not your path. Your path is created in the moment of action. If you can see it laid out in front of you, you can be sure it is someone else's path. That is why you see it so clearly.
Joseph Campbell
God is the experience of looking at a tree and saying, 'Ah!
Joseph Campbell
