More quotes by Joseph Campbell
At the darkest moment comes the light.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
We have to permit go with the everyday living we had prepared so as to have the lifetime that's watching for us
Joseph Campbell
Every myth is psychologically symbolic. Its narratives and images are to be read, therefore, not literally, but as metaphors.
Joseph Campbell
Myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of the human life.
Joseph Campbell
The seat of the soul is where the inner world and the outer world meet.
Joseph Campbell
You've got to find the force inside you.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
If you are to advance, all fixed ideas must go.
Joseph Campbell
Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.
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
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
The courage to face the trials and to bring a whole new body of possibilities into the field of interpreted experience for other people to experience - that is the hero's deed.
Joseph Campbell
The eternal principle, which never was born, never will die: it is in all things: it is in you now. You are the wave on the face of the ocean. When the wave is gone, is the water gone? Has anything happened? Nothing has happened. It is a play, a game, a dance.
Joseph Campbell
Economics and politics are the governing powers of life today, and that's why everything is so screwy.
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 adventure evoked a quality of his character that he didn't know he possessed.
Joseph Campbell
Just as anyone who listens to the muse will hear, you can write out of your own intention or out of inspiration. There is such a thing. It comes up and talks. And those who have heard deeply the rhythms and hymns of the gods, can recite those hymns in such a way that the gods will be attracted.
Joseph Campbell
