Joseph Campbell
There is no way you can use the word “reality” without quotation marks around it.
Joseph Campbell
Life is but a mask worn on the face of death. And is death, then, but another mask? 'How many can say,' asks the Aztec poet, 'that there is, or is not, a truth beyond?'
Joseph Campbell
Myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of the human life.
Joseph Campbell
Gods suppressed become devils, and often it is these devils whom we first encounter when we turn inward.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
What is a god? A god is a personification of a motivating power of a value system that functions in human life and in the universe.
Joseph Campbell
