More quotes by Joseph Campbell
When you follow your bliss, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you.
Joseph Campbell
Eternity is not future or past. Eternity is a dimension of now. It is a dimension of the human spirit -- which is eternal. Find that eternal dimension in yourself, and you will ride through time, and throughout the whole length of your days.
Joseph Campbell
You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don't know what was in the newspapers that morning a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be.
Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell
The problem in our society and in our schools is to inclulcate, without overdoing it, the notion of education, as in the Latin educere--to lead, to bring out what is in someone rather than merely to indoctrinate him/her from the outside. (89)
Joseph Campbell
The Greeks, it will be recalled, regarded Eros, the god of love, as the eldest of the gods but also as the youngest, born fresh and dewy-eyed in every living heart.
Joseph Campbell
If you follow someone else's way, you are not going to realize your potential.
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
If you follow your bliss you will find a path laid out before you that has been waiting for you all along and you will begin to live the life you ought to be living.
Joseph Campbell
Religon is misunderstood mythology
Joseph Campbell
The creative act is not hanging on, but yielding to a new creative movement. Awe is what moves us forward.
Joseph Campbell
You know, when real trouble comes your humanity is awakened. The fundamental human experience is that of compassion.
Joseph Campbell
