The call to adventure is the point in a person’s life when they are first given notice that everything is going to change, whether they know it or not.

The seat of the soul is where the inner world and the outer world meet.

All life stinks and you must embrace that with compassion.

What I think is that a good life is one hero journey after another. Over and over again, you are called to the realm of adventure, you are called to new horizons. Each time, there is the same problem: do I dare? And then if you do dare, the dangers are there, and the help also, and the fulfillment or the fiasco. There's always the possibility of fiasco. But there's also the possibility of bliss.

All the gods, all the heavens, all the hells, are within you.

It would not be too much to say that myth is the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestation. Religions, philosophies, arts, the social forms of primitive and historic man, prime discoveries in science and technology, the very dreams that blister sleep, boil up from the basic, magic ring of myth.

I don't have to have faith, I have experience.
