It's characteristic of democracy that majority rule is understood as being effective not only in politics but also in thinking. In thinking, of course, the majority is always wrong.

More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Money is congealed energy, and releasing it releases life's possibilities.
Joseph Campbell
Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.
Joseph Campbell
If you really want to help this world, what you will have to teach is how to live in it.
Joseph Campbell
Eternity is not a long time rather, it is another dimension. It is that dimension to which time-thinking shuts us. And so there never was a creation. Rather, there is a continuous creating going on. This energy is pouring into every cell of our being right now, every board and brick of the buildings we sit in, every grain of sand and wisp of wind.
Joseph Campbell
I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
Joseph Campbell
When your mind is simply trapped by the image out there so that you never make the reference to yourself, you have misread the image.
Joseph Campbell
Out of perfection nothing can be made. Every process involves breaking something up.
Joseph Campbell
The last act in the biography of the hero is that of the death or departure.
Joseph Campbell
The demon that you can swallow gives you it’s power, and the greater life’s pain, the greater life’s reply.
Joseph Campbell
You are the Hero of your own Story.
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 myth is the public dream and the dream is the private myth.
Joseph Campbell
People who don't have a concept of the whole can do very unfortunate things.
Joseph Campbell
Poets and artists who speak of the mystery are rare.
Joseph Campbell
There is no greater privilege in life than being yourself.
Joseph Campbell
If you are on the right path you will find that invisible hands are helping.
Joseph Campbell
This is all I ever wanted - to help students and artists see myth as a reflection of the one sublime adventure of life, and then to breathe new life into it.
Joseph Campbell
Where you stumble and fall, there you will find gold.
Joseph Campbell
I don’t think there is any such thing as an ordinary mortal. Everybody has his own possibility of rapture in the experience of life. All he has to do is recognize it and then cultivate it and get going with it. I always feel uncomfortable when people speak about ordinary mortals because I’ve never met an ordinary man, woman, or child.
Joseph Campbell
There's something inside you that knows when you're in the center, that knows when you're on the beam or off the beam. And if you get off the beam to earn money, you've lost your life. And if you stay in the center and don't get any money, you still have your bliss.
Joseph Campbell
