Participate joyfully in the sorrows of life
Joseph Campbell
When people find out what it is that's ticking in them, they get straightened out.
Joseph Campbell
You are the Hero of your own Story.
Joseph Campbell
We are having experiences all the time which may on occasion render some sense of this, a little intuition of where your bliss is. Grab it. No one can tell you what it is going to be. You have to learn to recognize your own depth.
Joseph Campbell
If marriage isn't a first priority in your life, you're not married.
Joseph Campbell
The ultimate dragon is within you, it is your ego clamping you down.
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
Mythology may, in a real sense, be defined as other people's religion. And religion may, in a sense, be understood as popular misunderstanding of mythology. (8)
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
What we are really living for is the experience of life, both the pain and the pleasure.
Joseph Campbell
So that's what destiny is: simply the fulfillment of the potentialites of the energies in your own system.
Joseph Campbell
We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.
Joseph Campbell
There's nothing you can do that's more important than being fulfilled. You become a sign, you become a signal, transparent to transcendence in this way, you will find, live, and become a realization of your own personal myth.
Joseph Campbell
Shakespeare said that art is a mirror held up to nature. And that’s what it is. The nature is your nature, and all of these wonderful poetic images of mythology are referring to something in you. When your mind is trapped by the image out there so that you never make the reference to yourself, you have misread the image.
Joseph Campbell
The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for.
Joseph Campbell
The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.
Joseph Campbell
The senses are a kind of reason. Taste, touch and smell, hearing and seeing, are not merely a means to sensation, enjoyable or otherwise, but they are also a means to knowledge - and are, indeed, your only actual means to knowledge.
Joseph Campbell
The world is full of people who have stopped listening to themselves.
Joseph Campbell
The call to adventure signifies that destiny has summoned the hero.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
