More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Wars and temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignorance regrets are illuminations come too late.
Joseph Campbell
Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and door will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
Joseph Campbell
The eternal principle, which never was born, never will die: it is in all things: it is in you now. You are the wave on the face of the ocean. When the wave is gone, is the water gone? Has anything happened? Nothing has happened. It is a play, a game, a dance.
Joseph Campbell
Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life
Joseph Campbell
A woman is a vehicle of life. Life has overtaken her. Woman is what it is all about-the giving of birth and the giving of nourishment.
Joseph Campbell
When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.
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
Poetry comes out of an elite experience, the experience of people whose ears are opened to the song of the universe.
Joseph Campbell
Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
The creative act is not hanging on, but yielding to a new creative movement. Awe is what moves us forward.
Joseph Campbell
I should have said, 'Follow your blisters.'
Joseph Campbell
What's made up in the head is the fiction. What comes out of the heart is a myth.
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 notion of this universe, its heavens, hells, and everything within it, as a great dream dreamed by a single being in which all the dream characters are dreaming too, has in India enchanted and shaped the entire civilization.
Joseph Campbell
I think of compassion as the fundamental religious experience and, unless that is there, you have nothing.
Joseph Campbell
I think what we lack isn't science, but poetry that reveals what the heart is ready to recognize
Joseph Campbell
There is no security in following the call to adventure.
Joseph Campbell
The last act in the biography of the hero is that of the death or departure.
Joseph Campbell
The adventure of the hero is the adventure of being alive
Joseph Campbell
The adventure that the hero is ready for is the one he gets.
Joseph Campbell
