More quotes by Joseph Campbell
Behind all these manifestations is the one radiance, which shines through all things.
Joseph Campbell
If you are to advance, all fixed ideas must go.
Joseph Campbell
Wars and temper tantrums are the makeshifts of ignorance regrets are illuminations come too late.
Joseph Campbell
Eternity is not a long time rather, it is another dimension. It is that dimension to which time-thinking shuts us. And so there never was a creation. Rather, there is a continuous creating going on. This energy is pouring into every cell of our being right now, every board and brick of the buildings we sit in, every grain of sand and wisp of wind.
Joseph Campbell
You can't have creativity unless you leave behind the bounded, the fixed, all the rules
Joseph Campbell
Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging. Negativism to the pain and ferocity of life is negativism to life. We are not there until we can say 'yea' to it all.
Joseph Campbell
What gods are there, what gods have there ever been, that were not from man's imagination?
Joseph Campbell
Where you stumble and fall, there you will find gold.
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
The ultimate dragon is within you, it is your ego clamping you down.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
Now, when Luke Skywalker unmasks his father, he is taking off the machine role that the father has played. The father was the uniform. That is power, the state role.
Joseph Campbell
Economics and politics are the governing powers of life today, and that's why everything is so screwy.
Joseph Campbell
You've got to find the force inside you.
Joseph Campbell
Money is congealed energy, and releasing it releases life's possibilities.
Joseph Campbell
Whenever men have looked for something solid on which to found their lives, they have chosen not the facts in which the world abounds, but the myths of an immemorial imagination.
Joseph Campbell
When you are falling --- Dive!
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
And so Galahad decided that it would be a disgrace to set off on a quest with the other knights. Alone he would enter the dark forest where there was no path. This is the myth of The Hero's Journey.
Joseph Campbell
The adventure evoked a quality of his character that he didn't know he possessed.
Joseph Campbell
