Additional quotes by Joseph Campbell

Mythology opens the world so that it becomes transparent to something that is beyond speech, beyond words — in short, what we call transcendence. Without that you don’t have a mythology. Any system of thinking, ideologies of one kind or another, that does not open to transcendence cannot be classified or understood mythologically.
