A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.

The hero, therefore, is the man or woman who has been able to battle past his personal and local historical limitations.

Perhaps some of us have to go through dark and devious ways before we can find the river of peace or the highroad to the soul's destination.

If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living... Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.

Awe is what moves us forward.

Myths are public dreams; dreams are private myths. By finding your own dream and following it through, it will lead you to the myth-world in which you live. But just as in dream, the subject and object, though they seem to be separate, are really the same.

Questing... is not an ego trip; it is an adventure to bring into fulfillment your gift to the world, which is yourself.
