More quotes by Joseph Campbell
If we fix on the old, we get stuck.
Joseph Campbell
People who don't have a concept of the whole can do very unfortunate things.
Joseph Campbell
If you see your path laid out in front of you - Step one, Step two, Step three - you only know one thing . . . it is not your path. Your path is created in the moment of action. If you can see it laid out in front of you, you can be sure it is someone else's path. That is why you see it so clearly.
Joseph Campbell
The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight.
Joseph Campbell
Any god who can invent hell is no candidate for the Salvation Army
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
We need myths that will identify the individual not with his local group but with the planet.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
The myth does not point to a fact the myth points beyond facts to something that informs the fact
Joseph Campbell
The perfect human being is uninteresting-the Buddha who leaves the world, you know. It is the imperfections of life that are lovable.
Joseph Campbell
The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.
Joseph Campbell
Hell is life drying up.
Joseph Campbell
Regrets are illuminations come too late.
Joseph Campbell
The hero, whether god or goddess, man or woman, the figure in a myth or the dreamer of a dream discovers and assimilates his opposite (his own unsuspected self) either by swallowing it or by being swallowed.
Joseph Campbell
