Joseph Campbell
The myths and folk tales of the whole world make clear that the refusal is essentially a refusal to give up what one takes to be one's own interest.

Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
I think what we lack isn't science, but poetry that reveals what the heart is ready to recognize
Joseph Campbell
If you are to advance, all fixed ideas must go.
Joseph Campbell
Whenever men have looked for something solid on which to found their lives, they have chosen not the facts in which the world abounds, but the myths of an immemorial imagination.
Joseph Campbell
Where you stumble and fall, there you will find gold.
Joseph Campbell
Privation and suffering alone open the mind to all that is hidden to others. (Igjugarjuk)
Joseph Campbell
Computers are like Old Testament gods lots of rules and no mercy.
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
