More quotes by Joseph Campbell
The passage of the mythological hero may be over ground, incidentally fundamentally it is inward--into depths where obscure resistances are overcome, and long lost, forgotten powers are revivified, to be made available for the transfiguration of the world.
Joseph Campbell
When an idea is important to a person or culture it will find its way into imagery.
Joseph Campbell
Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.
Joseph Campbell
The way to find out about your happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you really are happy-not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what I call following your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
I should have said, 'Follow your blisters.'
Joseph Campbell
We need myths that will identify the individual not with his local group but with the planet.
Joseph Campbell
One looks, looks long, and the world comes in.
Joseph Campbell
Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.
Joseph Campbell
All we really want to do is dance.
Joseph Campbell
Poetry comes out of an elite experience, the experience of people whose ears are opened to the song of the universe.
Joseph Campbell
Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging. Negativism to the pain and ferocity of life is negativism to life. We are not there until we can say 'yea' to it all.
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
Gods suppressed become devils, and often it is these devils whom we first encounter when we turn inward.
Joseph Campbell
Behind all these manifestations is the one radiance, which shines through all things.
Joseph Campbell
If you're going to have a story, have a big story, or none at all.
Joseph Campbell
There is no greater privilege in life than being yourself.
Joseph Campbell
The purpose of the journey is compassion. When you have come past the pairs of opposites, you have reached compassion.
Joseph Campbell
What gods are there, what gods have there ever been, that were not from man's imagination?
Joseph Campbell
The best advise is to take it all as if it had been your intention.
Joseph Campbell
You don't ask what a dance means. You enjoy it. You don't ask what the world means. You enjoy it. You don't ask what you mean. You enjoy it.
Joseph Campbell
