Joseph Campbell

"Where you stumble and fall, there you will find gold."

"What we're learning in our schools is not the wisdom of life. We're learning technologies, we're getting information. There's a curious reluctance on the part of faculties to indicate the life values of their subjects."

"It may be a species of impudence to think that the way you understand God is the way God is. (60)."

"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."

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