Additional quotes by Joseph Campbell
Our time has changed, and it's changed and changed, and it continues to change so fast, that what was proper fifty years ago is not proper today.

And the moral order has to catch up with the moral necessities of actual life in time, here and now, and that's what it's not doing, and that's why it's ridiculous to go back to the old-time religion.
