A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
Joseph Campbell
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.
Joseph Campbell
Follow Your Bliss.
Joseph Campbell
Follow your bliss and doors will open where there were no doors before.
Joseph Campbell
God is a metaphor for that which trancends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
Joseph Campbell
I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
Joseph Campbell
I don't have to have faith, I have experience.
Joseph Campbell
If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.
Joseph Campbell
Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.
Joseph Campbell
Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.
Joseph Campbell
One way or another, we all have to find what best fosters the flowering of our humanity in this contemporary life, and dedicate ourselves to that.
Joseph Campbell
The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.
Joseph Campbell
We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
Joseph Campbell
What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience, something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else.
Joseph Campbell
When people get married because they think it's a long-time love affair, they'll be divorced very soon, because all love affairs end in disappointment. But marriage is a recognition of a spiritual identity.
Joseph Campbell
When you follow your bliss... doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors, and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.
Joseph Campbell
When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.
