Joseph Campbell

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
Privation and suffering alone open the mind to all that is hidden to others. (Igjugarjuk)
Joseph Campbell
Love is the burning point of life, and since all life is sorrowful, so is love. The stronger the love, the more the pain. Love itself is pain, you might say -the pain of being truly alive.
Joseph Campbell
What will they think of me? Must be put aside for bliss
Joseph Campbell
Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and door will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
Joseph Campbell
It is not society which is to guide and save the creative hero, but precisely the reverse.

Computers are like Old Testament gods lots of rules and no mercy.
Joseph Campbell
