"The process of nature cannot be evil...." - Quote by Joseph Campbell

“The ego is as you think of yourself. You in relation to all the commitments of your life, as you understand them. The self is the whole range of possibilities that you've never even thought of. And you're stuck with you're past when you're stuck with the ego. Because if all you know about yourself is what you found out about yourself, well, that already happened. The self is a whole field of potentialities to come through.”

“Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when lifeseems most challenging. Negativism to the pain and ferocity of life is negativism to life. We are not there until we can say 'yea' to it all.”

“Wisdom and foolishness are practically the same. Both are indifferent to the opinions of the world”

“A work of art is an abstract or epitome of the world. It is the result or expression of nature, in miniature. For, although the works of nature are innumerable and all different, the result or the expression of them all is similar and single.”

“Nature is methodical, and doeth her work well. Time is never to be hurried.”

“Fishing has been styled 'a contemplative man's recreation,' ... and science is only a more contemplative man's recreation.”

“Music is moral law. It is the essence of order and leads to all that is good, true and beautiful.”

“Good men must not obey the laws too well.”

“Man is worse than an animal when he is an animal.”
