Joseph Campbell
I think the person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say, for the money - has turned himself into a slave.
Joseph Campbell
First you must find your trajectory, and then comes the social coordination.
Joseph Campbell
If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.
