"You've got to find the force inside..." - Quote by Joseph Campbell

“You know, when real trouble comes your humanity is awakened. The fundamental human experience is that of compassion.”

“If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living... Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.”

“A real artist is the one who has learned to recognize and to render...the 'radiance' of all things as an epiphany or showing forth of the truth.”

“Confidence is the greatest friend.”

“Always remember that you are bigger than the moment, you are more than anything that could ever happen to you.”

“How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done.”

“I do not know who lives here in my chest, or why the smile comes. I am not myself, more the bare green knob of a rose that lost every leaf and petal to the morning wind.”

“The qualities which a man seeks in his beloved are those characteristics of his own soul, whether he knows it or not.”

“Only by owning who and what you are can you step into the fullness of life.”
