Joseph Campbell
Marriage is not a love affair. A love affair has to do with immediate personal satisfaction. Marriage is an ordeal it means yielding, time and again. That's why it's a sacrament You give up your personal simplicity to participate in a relationship. And when you're giving, you're not giving to the other person you're giving to the relationship.
Joseph Campbell
Art is the set of wings to carry you out of your own entanglement.
Joseph Campbell
The passage of the mythological hero may be over ground, incidentally fundamentally it is inward--into depths where obscure resistances are overcome, and long lost, forgotten powers are revivified, to be made available for the transfiguration of the world.
Joseph Campbell
