Joseph Campbell
An old Apache storyteller reminds us
Joseph Campbell
When your mind is simply trapped by the image out there so that you never make the reference to yourself, you have misread the image.
Joseph Campbell
The seat of the soul is where the inner world and the outer world meet.
Joseph Campbell
When an idea is important to a person or culture it will find its way into imagery.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
There is no greater privilege in life than being yourself.
Joseph Campbell
If you see your path laid out in front of you - Step one, Step two, Step three - you only know one thing . . . it is not your path. Your path is created in the moment of action. If you can see it laid out in front of you, you can be sure it is someone else's path. That is why you see it so clearly.
Joseph Campbell
We are kept out of the Garden by our own fear and desire in relation to what we think to be the goods of our life.
Joseph Campbell
Without passion, men are not willing to pay any price or bear any burden to set the captives free.
Joseph Campbell
The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight.
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
Perhaps some of us have to go through dark and devious ways before we can find the river of peace or the highroad to the soul's destination.
Joseph Campbell
Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
Joseph Campbell
Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.
Joseph Campbell
Myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of the human life.
Joseph Campbell
If you live with the myths in your mind, you will find yourself always in mythological situations. They cover everything that can happen to you. And that enables you to interpret the myth in relation to life, as well as life in relation to myth.
Joseph Campbell
