More quotes by Joseph Campbell
If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living... Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
Joseph Campbell
If you follow your bliss...the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living.
Joseph Campbell
There's always the possibility of a fiasco. But there's also the possibility of bliss.
Joseph Campbell
The images of Myth are reflections of Spiritual and Depth potentialities of every one of us. Through contemplating those we evoke those powers in our own lives to operate through ourselves.
Joseph Campbell
It is not only that there is no hiding place for the gods from the searching telescope and microscope there is no such society any more as the gods once supported.
Joseph Campbell
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
Joseph Campbell
The perfect human being is uninteresting-the Buddha who leaves the world, you know. It is the imperfections of life that are lovable.
Joseph Campbell
A woman is a vehicle of life. Life has overtaken her. Woman is what it is all about-the giving of birth and the giving of nourishment.
Joseph Campbell
Successful marriage is leading innovative lives together, being open, non-programmed. It’s a free fall: how you handle each new thing as it comes along. As a drop of oil on the sea, you must float, using intellect and compassion to ride the waves.
Joseph Campbell
Every hero must have the courage to be alone, to take the journey for himself.
Joseph Campbell
The function of the artist is the mythologization of the culture and the world. In the visual arts there were two men whose work handled mythological themes in a marvelous way: Paul Klee and Pablo Picasso.
Joseph Campbell
The myth is the public dream and the dream is the private myth.
Joseph Campbell
Man actually needs the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him.
Joseph Campbell
There is what I would call the hero journey, the night sea journey, the hero quest, where the individual is going to bring forth in his life something that was never beheld before.
Joseph Campbell
All the old bindings are broken. Cosmological centers now are anywhere and everywhere. The earth is a heavenly body, most beautiful of all, and all poetry is now archaic that fails to match the wonder of this view.
Joseph Campbell
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
The purpose of the journey is compassion. When you have come past the pairs of opposites, you have reached compassion.
Joseph Campbell
Our true reality is in our identity and unity with all life.
Joseph Campbell
The creative act is not hanging on, but yielding to a new creative movement. Awe is what moves us forward.
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
