The eternal principle, which never was born, never will die: it is in all things: it is in you now. You are the wave on the face of the ocean. When the wave is gone, is the water gone? Has anything happened? Nothing has happened. It is a play, a game, a dance.
Joseph CampbellQuesting... is not an ego trip; it is an adventure to bring into fulfillment your gift to the world, which is yourself.
Joseph CampbellWhether you call someone a hero or a monster is all relative to where the focus of your consciousness may be.
Joseph CampbellWhat is the cause, though, of the growth of an acorn? The oak that is to come! What is to happen in the future is then the cause of what is occurring now; and, at the same time, what occurred in the past is also the cause of what is happening now. In addition, a great number of things round about, on every side, are causing what is happening now. Everything, all the time, is causing everything else
