Joseph Campbell
Our demons are our own limitations, which shut us off from the realization of the ubiquity of the spirit . . . each of these demons is conquered in a vision quest.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
Don't do anything that isn't play
Joseph Campbell
We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come. -
Joseph Campbell
One of our problems today is that we are not well acquainted with the literature of the spirit. We re interested in the news of the day and the problems of the hour.
Joseph Campbell
You can't have creativity unless you leave behind the bounded, the fixed, all the rules
Joseph Campbell
