More quotes by Joseph Campbell
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
Joseph Campbell
In the absence of an effective general mythology, each of us has his private, unrecognized, rudimentary, yet secretly potent pantheon of dreams.
Joseph Campbell
Economics and politics are the governing powers of life today, and that's why everything is so screwy.
Joseph Campbell
Writer’s block results from too much head. Cut off your head. Pegasus, poetry, was born of Medusa when her head was cut off. You have to be reckless when writing. Be as crazy as your conscience allows.
Joseph Campbell
What's made up in the head is the fiction. What comes out of the heart is a myth.
Joseph Campbell
You know, when real trouble comes your humanity is awakened. The fundamental human experience is that of compassion.
Joseph Campbell
Religon is misunderstood mythology
Joseph Campbell
The call to adventure is the point in a person’s life when they are first given notice that everything is going to change, whether they know it or not.
Joseph Campbell
Out of perfection nothing can be made. Every process involves breaking something up.
Joseph Campbell
What we are really living for is the experience of life, both the pain and the pleasure.
Joseph Campbell
The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. Fear of the unknown is our greatest fear. Many of us would enter a tiger's lair before we would enter a dark cave. While caution is a useful instinct, we lose many opportunities and much of the adventure of life if we fail to support the curious explorer within us.
Joseph Campbell
It is not society which is to guide and save the creative hero, but precisely the reverse.
Joseph Campbell
It's a shame to waste [the uniqueness that is you], by doing what someone else has done.
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
A woman is a vehicle of life. Life has overtaken her. Woman is what it is all about-the giving of birth and the giving of nourishment.
Joseph Campbell
The Deadheads are doing the dance of life and this I would say is the answer to the atom bomb.
Joseph Campbell
One can experience an unconditional affirmation of life only when one has accepted death, not as contrary to life, but as an aspect of it.
Joseph Campbell
The perfect human being is uninteresting.
Joseph Campbell
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
Joseph Campbell
Gods suppressed become devils, and often it is these devils whom we first encounter when we turn inward.
Joseph Campbell
