Joseph Campbell
The seat of the soul is where the inner world and the outer world meet.
Joseph Campbell

A one sentence definition of mythology? Mythology is what we call someone else's religion.
Joseph Campbell
In the absence of an effective general mythology, each of us has his private, unrecognized, rudimentary, yet secretly potent pantheon of dreams.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
