Author of quotes: Joseph Campbell. Page 1

Where you are tripped, hidden your treasure.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we planned to have the life that is waiting for us.
(You must give up the life you had planned to get the life that is waiting for you.)

Hero of our time, today's individual courage, heeding the call to seek the abode that exists, which must be our common destiny as the atonement, can not and should not wait until the community will give away its depressing pride, fears, considered the avarice and sanctioned more than sanctimonious delusions. For each of us, judgment day - everyone to carry the cross of the Savior - and not in a brilliant moment of triumph of a sort-tribe, but in the silence of his, with no one to split despair.

Yesterday's hero will become tomorrow's tyrant, if you don't bring sacrifices today.

Only going down into the abyss, it is possible to find the treasure.

Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
Find within yourself the joy, and that joy will heal the pain.

The beauty of life that you can be who you are.

In each cave you fear to enter, is hidden what you're looking for.

Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where before there were walls.
(Follow the feeling of bliss, and the universe will open doors towards you where before there were only walls!)
