Joseph Campbell


Reflections on the Art of Living, A Joseph Campbell Companion, selected and edited by Diane K. Osbon
some quotes from the book
 
The Privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
Awe is what moves us forward.
Eternity is a dimension of here and now.
We are not here until we can say "yea" to it all.
It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life.
The heroic life is living the individual adventure.
A bit of advice given to a young Native American at the time of his initiation: 
             "As you go the way of life, you will see a great chasm.
                                          JUMP
                            It is not as wide as you think."
PBS ran some terrific programs with Joseph Campbell, he was an amazing enlightened man.
