Joseph Campbell quotes

Some interesting thoughts from Joseph Campbell, whom I have not read, but have recently read quoted in Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication book.

God is a metaphor for that which trancends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.

I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

"What will they think of me?" must be put asside for bliss.

Follow your bliss and doors will open where there were no doors before.
