Joseph Campbell Quotes

You enter the forest
at the darkest point,
where there is no path.

 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.

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

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.
