Letter "J" » Joseph Campbell Quotes
«When we talk about settling the world's problems, we're barking up the wrong tree. The world is perfect. It's a mess. It has always been a mess. We are not going to change it. Our job is to straighten out our own lives.»
«Life is like arriving late for a movie, having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions, and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends»
«Original Experience has not been interpreted for you, and so you?ve got to work out life for yourself. Either you can take it or you can?t. You don?t have to go far off the interpreted path to find yourself in very difficult situations. The courage to face the trials and to bring a whole new body of possibilities into the field of interpreted experience for other people to experience ? that is the hero?s deed.»
«A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.»
«I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.»
«The world is full of people that have stopped listening to themselves or have listened only their neighbors to learn what they ought to do, how they ought to behave, and what the values are they should be living for.»
«Is the system going to flatten you out and deny you your humanity, or are you going to be able to make use of the system to the attainment of human purposes?»
«To find your own way is to follow your bliss. This involves analysis, watching yourself and seeing where real deep bliss is -- not the quick little excitement , but the real deep, life-filling bliss.»
«Any life career that you choose in following your bliss should be chosen with that sense ? that nobody can frighten me off from this thing. And no matter what happens, this is the validation of my life and action.»
«Out of perfection nothing can be made. Every process involves breaking something up.»
