What is unknown is the fulfillment of your own unique life, the likes of which has never existed on earth. And you are the only one who can do it.

Eternity is not a long time rather, it is another dimension. It is that dimension to which time-thinking shuts us. And so there never was a creation. Rather, there is a continuous creating going on. This energy is pouring into every cell of our being right now, every board and brick of the buildings we sit in, every grain of sand and wisp of wind.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
Our life has become so economic and practical in its orientation that, as you get older, the claims of the moment upon you are so great, you hardly know where the hell you are, or what it is you intended. You are always doing something that is required of you. Where is your bliss station? You have to try to find it.
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
Heroism is a matter of integrity--beco ming more and more at each step ourselves.
Joseph Campbell
Whatever the hell happens, say, 'This is what I need.'
Joseph Campbell
If you really want to help this world, what you will have to teach is how to live in it.
Joseph Campbell
The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for.
