More quotes by Joseph Campbell
The myth is the public domain and the dream is the private myth. If your private myth, your dream, happens to coincide with that of the society, you are in good accord with your group. If it isn't, you've got a long adventure in the dark forest ahead of you.
Joseph Campbell
Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.
Joseph Campbell
There is no greater privilege in life than being yourself.
Joseph Campbell
If you have a sacred place and use it, take advantage of it, something will happen.
Joseph Campbell
There is no way you can use the word “reality” without quotation marks around it.
Joseph Campbell
One can experience an unconditional affirmation of life only when one has accepted death, not as contrary to life, but as an aspect of it.
Joseph Campbell
Thinking in mythological terms helps to put you in accord with the inevitables of this vale of tears. You learn to recognize the positive values in what appear to be the negative moments and aspects of your life. The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.
Joseph Campbell
The myth is the public dream and the dream is the private myth.
Joseph Campbell
The actual point in question, throughout the centuries of Christian persecution, has never been faith in God, but faith in the Bible as the word of God, and in the Church (this Church or that) as the interpreter of that word.
Joseph Campbell
Any god who can invent hell is no candidate for the Salvation Army
Joseph Campbell
An old Apache storyteller reminds us
Joseph Campbell
Your ego is your embodiment and your self is your potentiality and that's what you listen to when you listen for the voice of inspiration and the voice of 'What am I here for? What can I possibly make of myself?'
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
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
If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.
Joseph Campbell
You are the Hero of your own Story.
Joseph Campbell
For we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heros of all time have gone before us.
Joseph Campbell
We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.
Joseph Campbell
There's always the possibility of a fiasco. But there's also the possibility of bliss.
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
