Joseph
Campbell Quotes
- Follow your bliss and don't be afraid,
and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
Joseph
Campbell Quote -
- The function of mythological symbols is to
give you a sense of "Aha! Yes. I know what it is, it's myself."
Joseph
Campbell Quote - - A myth is the dynamic of life. You may or may not
know it, and the myth you may be respectfully worshipping on Sunday may not be
the one that's really working in your heart and the one that's out there in the
view of your religious instructors.
Joseph
Campbell Quote - - I think one of the problems today is that society
has moved into a multicultural relationship that renders archaic these culture-bounded
mythological systems - like the Christian, the Jewish, the Hindu.
Joseph
Campbell Quote - - All you can learn is what your own inward life is
and try to stay loyal to that.
Joseph
Campbell Quote - - The thing I see about the Bible that's unfortunate
is that it's a tribally circumscribed mythology. It deals with a certain people
at a certain time. The Christians magnified it to include them.
Joseph
Campbell Quote - - No one in the world was ever you before, with your
particular gifts and abilities and possibilities. It's a shame to waste those
by doing what someone else has done.
Joseph
Campbell Quote - - Christianity isn't moving people's lives today.
What's moving people's lives is the stock market and the baseball scores. What
are people excited about? It's a totally materialistic level that has taken over
the world. There isn't even an ideal that anybody's fighting for.
