More quotes by Joseph Campbell
The theme of the Grail is the bringing of life into what is known as 'the wasteland.' The wasteland is the preliminary theme to which the Grail is the answer. . . It's the world of people living inauthentic lives - doing what they are supposed to do.
Joseph Campbell
Survival is the second law of life. The first is that we are all one.
Joseph Campbell
Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.
Joseph Campbell
First you must find your trajectory, and then comes the social coordination.
Joseph Campbell
He must put aside his pride, his virtue, beauty and life and bow or submit to the absolutely intolerable.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
Eternity isn't some later time. Eternity isn't a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now which thinking and time cuts out. This is it. And if you don't get it here, you won't get it anywhere. And the experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life.
Joseph Campbell
What's made up in the head is the fiction. What comes out of the heart is a myth.
Joseph Campbell
The notion of this universe, its heavens, hells, and everything within it, as a great dream dreamed by a single being in which all the dream characters are dreaming too, has in India enchanted and shaped the entire civilization.
Joseph Campbell
For the bliss of the deep abode is not lightly abandoned in favor of the self-scattering of the wakened state.
Joseph Campbell
If you follow your bliss you will find a path laid out before you that has been waiting for you all along and you will begin to live the life you ought to be living.
Joseph Campbell
Every hero must have the courage to be alone, to take the journey for himself.
Joseph Campbell
I should have said, 'Follow your blisters.'
Joseph Campbell
Once you know the difference between right and wrong, you have lots fewer decisions to make.
Joseph Campbell
If you want the whole thing, the gods will give it to you. But you must be ready for it.
Joseph Campbell
When you realize that eternity is right here now, that it is within your possibility to experience the eternity of your own truth and being, then you grasp the following: That which you are was never born and will never die. . . . (90)
Joseph Campbell
What will they think of me? Must be put aside for bliss
Joseph Campbell
You are the Hero of your own Story.
Joseph Campbell
You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there is a way or path, it is someone else's path. You are not on your own path. If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.
Joseph Campbell
