I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
More Quotes from Joseph Campbell:
It's a little too early to tell what happened, ... This had the appearance of a well-planned and well-negotiated deal that was designed to be released on Monday.Joseph Campbell
Marriage is not a love affair. A love affair is a totally different thing. A marriage is a commitment to that which you are. That person is literally your other half. And you and the other are one. A love affair isnt that. That is a relationship of pleasure, and when it gets to be unpleasurable , its off. But a marriage is a life commitment, and a life commitment means the prime concern of your life. If marriage is not the prime concern, you are not married.
Joseph Campbell
Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
Joseph Campbell
At such moments, you realize that you and the other are, in fact, one. It's a big realization. Survival is the second law of life. The first is that we are all one.
Joseph Campbell
We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
Joseph Campbell
The conquest of the fear of death is the recovery of life's joy. One can experience an unconditional affirmation of life only when one has accepted death, not as contrary to life, but as an aspect of life. Life in its becoming is always shedding death, and on the point of death. The conquest of fear yields the courage of life. That is the cardinal initiation of every heroic adventure fearlessness and achievement.
