Joseph Campbell

If the path before you is clear, you're probably on someone else's.

The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.

We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.

Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again.

The job of an educator is to teach students to see vitality in themselves

You enter the forestat the darkest point,where there is no path.Where there is a way or path,it is someone else's path.You are not on your own path.If you follow someone else's way,you are not going to realizeyour potential.

We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Where you stumble and fall, there you will find gold.

Myth is much more important and true than history. History is just journalism and you know how reliable that is.

Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.

The demon that you can swallow gives you its power, and the greater life’s pain, the greater life’s reply.

Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.
