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.
Joseph CampbellThe sin of inadvertence, not being alert, not quite awake, is the sin of missing the moment of life-live with unremitting alertness.
Joseph CampbellIf you have the guts to follow the risk...if one follows what I call one's "bliss" - the thing that really gets you deep in the gut and that you feel is your life - doors will open up...if you follow your bliss, you'll have your bliss, whether you have money or not.
Joseph CampbellPeople say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.
