We are the consciousness of the earth. We are the eyes of the earth. The voice of the earth.
Joseph CampbellThe principle of compassion is that which converts disillusionment into a participatory companionship. This is the basic love, the charity, that turns a critic into a living human being who has something to give to - as well as to demand of - the world.
Joseph CampbellYour life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself... The problem is not to blame or explain but to handle the life that arises... If you say no to a single factor in your life, you have unraveled the whole thing... The demon that you swallow gives you its power, and the greater life's pain, the greater life's reply.
Joseph CampbellHe must put aside his pride, his virtue, beauty and life and bow or submit to the absolutely intolerable.
Joseph Campbell
