More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Midlife is when you reach the top of the ladder and find that it was against the wrong wall.
Joseph Campbell
The priests used to say that faith can move mountains, and nobody believed them. Today the scientists say that they can level mountains, and nobody doubts them.
Joseph Campbell
I think of mythology as the homeland of the muses, the inspirers of art, the inspirers of poetry. To see life as a poem and yourself participating in a poem is what the myth does for you.
Joseph Campbell
You have been thinking one way. Now you have to think a different way.
Joseph Campbell
Every religion, every mythology is true in this sense: It is true as metaphorical of the human and cosmic mystery.
Joseph Campbell
The entire heavenly realm is within us, but to find it we have to relate to what's outside.
Joseph Campbell
There is no security in following the call to adventure.
Joseph Campbell
How does the ordinary person come to the transcendent? For a start, I would say, study poetry. Learn how to read a poem. You need not have the experience to get the message, or at least some indication of the message. It may come gradually. (92)
Joseph Campbell
If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.
Joseph Campbell
The Garden is a metaphor for the following: our minds, and our thinking in terms of pairs of opposites--man and woman, good and evil--are as holy as that of a god. (50)
Joseph Campbell
Love is the burning point of life, and since all life is sorrowful, so is love. The stronger the love, the more the pain. Love itself is pain, you might say -the pain of being truly alive.
Joseph Campbell
We are kept out of the Garden by our own fear and desire in relation to what we think to be the goods of our life.
Joseph Campbell
You can't have creativity unless you leave behind the bounded, the fixed, all the rules
Joseph Campbell
The ultimate dragon is within you, it is your ego clamping you down.
Joseph Campbell
A hero is not a champion of things become, but of things becoming the dragon to be slain by him is precisely the monster of the status quo.
Joseph Campbell
To find your own way is to follow your bliss. This involves analysis, watching yourself and seeing where real deep bliss is -- not the quick little excitement , but the real deep, life-filling bliss.
Joseph Campbell
It's a shame to waste [the uniqueness that is you], by doing what someone else has done.
Joseph Campbell
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
Joseph Campbell
When people find out what it is that's ticking in them, they get straightened out.
Joseph Campbell
Wars and temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignorance regrets are illuminations come too late.
Joseph Campbell
