Additional quotes by Joseph Campbell

Tragedy is the shattering of the forms and of our attachment to the forms; comedy, the wild and careless, inexhaustible joy of life invincible.

The distance of your love is the distance of your life. Love is exactly as strong as life.

We must be willing to get rid of
the life we’ve planned, so as to have
the life that is waiting for us.

The old skin has to be shed
before the new one can come.

If we fix on the old, we get stuck.
When we hang onto any form,
we are in danger of putrefaction.

Hell is life drying up.

You don’t understand death, you learn to acquiesce in death. - Joseph Campbell
