Inspirational quotes.

Emerson instructed us to “Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your reading have been to you like the blast of truimpth out of Shakespeare, Seneca, Moses, John and Paul.”

  • “But in doing that, you save the world. The influence of a vital person vitalizes, there’s no doubt about it. The world without spirit is wasteland.

The thing to do is to bring life to it, and the only way to do that is to find in your own case where the life is and become alive yourself.”

    ~ Joseph Campbell quotes
