More quotes by Joseph Campbell
For we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heros of all time have gone before us.
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
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
When you follow your bliss, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you.
Joseph Campbell
We have today to learn to get back into accord with the wisdom of nature and realize again our brotherhood with the animals and with the water and the sea.
Joseph Campbell
Eternity is not the hereafter...this is it. If you don't get it here you won't get it anywhere.
Joseph Campbell
Myths are the world's dreams. They are archetypal dreams and deal with great human problems. Myths and dreams come from the same place. They come from realizations of some kind that then have to find expression in symbolic form.
Joseph Campbell
The myth does not point to a fact the myth points beyond facts to something that informs the fact
Joseph Campbell
Myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of the human life.
Joseph Campbell
Mythology is the womb of mankind's initiation to life and death.
Joseph Campbell
Survival is the second law of life. The first is that we are all one.
Joseph Campbell
You are the Hero of your own Story.
Joseph Campbell
You have to have a feeling for where you are. You've got only one life to live and you don't have to live it for six people. Pay attention to it.
Joseph Campbell
What gods are there, what gods have there ever been, that were not from man's imagination?
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
Every act has both good and evil results. The best we can do is lean to the light.
Joseph Campbell
Participate joyfully in the sorrows of life
Joseph Campbell
Every religion, every mythology is true in this sense: It is true as metaphorical of the human and cosmic mystery.
Joseph Campbell
Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life
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
