Joseph Campbell
Image
People who don't have a concept of the whole can do very unfortunate things.
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
Image
When you are on your path, and it is truly your path, doors will open for you where there were no doors for someone else.
Joseph Campbell
Image
Where you stumble and fall, there you will find gold.
Joseph Campbell

It is not only that there is no hiding place for the gods from the searching telescope and microscope there is no such society any more as the gods once supported.
Joseph Campbell
Image
Freud tells us to blame our parents for all the shortcomings of our life, Marx tells us to blame the upper class of our society. But the only one to blame is oneself.

The hero, therefore, is the man or woman who has been able to battle past his personal and local historical limitations.
