People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I think that what we're really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Everybody's going to be looking at these little bits and pieces and deciding what they like and don't like. There's enough attractive pieces in that business that quite a few people will express an interest.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The world is full of people that have stopped listening to themselves or have listened only their neighbors to learn what they ought to do, how they ought to behave, and what the values are they should be living for.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Well, one of the problems about being psychoanalyzed is, as Nietzsche said, Be careful lest in casting out your devils that you cast out the best thing that’s in you. So many people who are really in deep analysis look as though and act as though they have been filleted. There’s no bone there, there’s no stuff! How to get rid of ego as dictator and turn it into messenger and servant and scout, to be in your service, is the trick.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The theme of the Grail is the bringing of life into what is known as 'the wasteland.' The wasteland is the preliminary theme to which the Grail is the answer. . . It's the world of people living inauthentic lives - doing what they are supposed to do.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Anyone who has had an experience of mystery knows that there is a dimension of the universe that is not that which is available to his senses. There is a pertinent saying in one of the Upanishads: When before the beauty of a sunset or of a mountain you pause and exclaim, ‘Ah,’ you are participating in divinity. Such a moment of participation involves a realization of the wonder and sheer beauty of existence. People living in the world of nature experience such moments every day. They live in the recognition of something there that is much greater than the human dimension.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Poetry comes out of an elite experience, the experience of people whose ears are opened to the song of the universe.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
I don’t think people are really seeking the meaning of Life. I think we’re seeking an experience of being alive…we want to feel the rapture of being alive
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Preachers err by trying to talk people into belief; better they reveal the radiance of their own discovery.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
When you follow your bliss, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Myth must be kept alive. The people who can keep it alive are the artists of one kind or another.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The way to find out about happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you are really happy — not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self-analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what is called following your bliss.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Every people is a chosen people in its own mind. And it is rather amusing that their name for themselves usually means mankind.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
People who don't have a concept of the whole can do very unfortunate things.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The world is full of people who have stopped listening to themselves or have listened only to their neighbors to learn what they ought to do, how they ought to behave, and what the values are they should be living for.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
It takes courage to do what you want. Other people have a lot of plans for you... Follow your bliss.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The world without spirit is a wasteland. People have the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing the rules, and who's on top, and so forth. No, no! Any world is a valid world if it's alive. The thing to do is to bring life to it, and the only way to do that is to find in your own case where the life is and become alive yourself.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Mythology may, in a real sense, be defined as other people's religion. And religion may, in a sense, be understood as popular misunderstanding of mythology. (8)
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
When you find a writer who really is saying something to you, read everything that writer has written and you will get more education and depth of understanding out of that than reading a scrap here and a scrap there and elsewhere. Then go to people who influenced that writer, or those who were related to him, and your world builds together in an organic way that is really marvelous.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
When you see the earth from the moon, you don't see any divisions there of nations or states. This might be the symbol, really, for the new mythology to come. That is the country that we are going to be celebrating. And those are the people that we are one with.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
When people find out what it is that's ticking in them, they get straightened out.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
For people who are really alive to have life awakened is more important than to get a sandwich.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
You have to have a feeling for where you are. You've got only one life to live and you don't have to live it for six people. Pay attention to it.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Read myths. They teach you that you can turn inward, and you begin to get the message of the symbols. Read other people's myths, not those of your own religion, because you tend to interpret your own religion in terms of facts -- but if you read the other ones, you begin to get the message.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Could God exist if nobody else did? No. That’s why gods are very avid for worshipers. If there is nobody to worship them, there are no gods. There are as many gods as there are people thinking about God. In choosing your god, you choose your way of looking at the universe. There are plenty of Gods. Choose yours. The god you worship is the god you deserve.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Out of perfection nothing can be made. Every process involves breaking something up. The earth must be broken to bring forth life. If the seed does not die there is no plant. Bread results from the death of wheat. Life lives on lives. Our own life lives on the acts of other people. If you are lifeworthy, you can take it.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
People think that their world will get smaller as they get older. My experience is just the opposite. Your senses become more acute. You start to blossom.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
DJs are in incredible competition, musically. And they are the most musically creative and sensitive people in all the music charts. I am amazed how they are.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
If you have too many quotes from other people in your head, you can't create. You have to keep your head empty. That's why I am constantly enjoying the sky, the park, the walk.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
Our public officials have forgotten that they are ultimately accountable to the people who put them in office, that the information they keep in secrecy belongs to all of us.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
When people ask me what the most important thing is in life, I answer: 'Just breathe.'
Quote by -Yoko Ono
I think energy is the most important thing that we can give to people as performers. Anything else is a little bit pretentious. But energy is not.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
Events are the best teacher for us. You try to learn from people, there is always some bend to it.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
To have a relationship that is pure and passionate and beautiful - I think people are scared of having that now. Especially guys.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
People don't remember each tree in a park but all of us benefit from the trees. And in a way, artists are like trees in a park.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
When I speak out against the guns or against the big corporations, some of my friends say, 'Oh Yoko, be careful. These people have all the power.' But, you know, most people don't speak out because they are frightened.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
All my concerts had no sounds in them; they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!
Quote by -Yoko Ono
Some people think that movements, such as the movements in ballet, are a higher cultural expression, whereas some are just dirt. I think it is elitist to think that a trained movement is more acceptable than untrained and possibly unrehearsed movements.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
I think it's nice to let people know that there is an invisible part of the world. I think there are many people now who are interested in the invisible world.
Quote by -Yoko Ono
