Joseph Campbell Quotes

There are something like 18 billion cells in the brain alone. There are no two brains alike; there are no two hands alike; there are no two human beings alike. You can take your instructions and your guidance from others, but you must find your own path Picture Quote #1

The eternal principle, which never was born, never will die: it is in all things: it is in you now. You are the wave on the face of the ocean. When the wave is gone, is the water gone? Has anything happened? Nothing has happened. It is a play, a game, a dance Picture Quote #1

All societies are evil, sorrowful, inequitable; and so they will always be. So if you really want to help this world, what you will have to teach is how to live in it. And that no one can do who has not himself learned how to live in it in the joyful sorrow and sorrowful joy of the knowledge of life as it is Picture Quote #1

Dragons, you know, we have a good deal of biology and zoology about the dragon; we know their habits. The dragon tends to guard things, and he usually has these guarded in a cave... Now dragons don’t know what to do either with beautiful girls or gold, but they just hang on. There are people like this. We call them creeps Picture Quote #1

If you go to a master to study and learn the techniques, you diligently follow all the instructions the master puts upon you. But then comes the time for using the rules in your own way and not being bound by them... You can actually forget the rules because they have been assimilated. You are an artist. Your own innocence now is of one who has become an artist, who has been, as it were, transmuted... You can’t have creativity unless you leave behind the bounded, the fixed, all the rules Picture Quote #1

In the absence of an effective general mythology, each of us has his private, unrecognized, rudimentary, yet secretly potent pantheon of dreams Picture Quote #1

If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn’t have opened for anyone else Picture Quote #1

He said myths and mythology wasn’t to give meaning to life but to give us an experience of life, an experience of vitality in being alive Picture Quote #1

I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell’s notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we’re close to that Picture Quote #1

I think with movies I am really connecting to the Joseph Campbell idea of the collective unconscious Picture Quote #1
