"It's characteristic of democracy that majority rule..." - Quote by Joseph Campbell

“If there were already a path, it would have to be someone else's; the whole point is to find your own way.”

“Art is the clothing of a revelation”

“Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.”

“What ass first let loose the doctrine that the suffrage is a high boon and voting a noble privilege?”

“In a certain sense, and to a certain extent, he [the president] is the representative of the people. He is elected by them, as well as congress is. But can he, in the nature [of] things, know the wants of the people, as well as three hundred other men, coming from all the various localities of the nation? If so, where is the propriety of having a congress?”

“Democracy does not contain any force which will check the constant tendency to put more and more on the public payroll. The state is like a hive of bees in which the drones display, multiply and starve the workers so the idlers will consume the food and the workers will perish.”

“To learn without thinking is labour in vain, to think without learning is desolation.”

“Those who think are excessively few; and those few do not set themselves to disturb the world.”

“The problems that exist in this world can not be solved by the level of thinking that created them.”
