• What am I? Am I the bulb that carries the light, or am I the light of which the bulb is a vehicle?

  ~ Joseph Campbell quotes from The Power of Myth

• “All the time. It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as a result of invisible hands coming all the time--namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors ill open where you didn’t know they were going to be.”

  ~ Joseph Campbell quotes
