More quotes by Joseph Campbell
One great thing about growing old is that nothing is going to lead to anything. Everything is of the moment.
Joseph Campbell
We need myths that will identify the individual not with his local group but with the planet.
Joseph Campbell
Through dreams a door is opened to mythology, since myths are of the nature of dreams, and that, as dreams arise from an inward world unknown to waking consciousness, so do myths: so, indeed, does life.
Joseph Campbell
The entire heavenly realm is within us, but to find it we have to relate to what's outside.
Joseph Campbell
I don’t think there is any such thing as an ordinary mortal. Everybody has his own possibility of rapture in the experience of life. All he has to do is recognize it and then cultivate it and get going with it. I always feel uncomfortable when people speak about ordinary mortals because I’ve never met an ordinary man, woman, or child.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
There is no greater privilege in life than being yourself.
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
First you must find your trajectory, and then comes the social coordination.
Joseph Campbell
