"If there were already a path, it..." - Quote by Joseph Campbell

“The principle of compassion is that which converts disillusionment into a participatory companionship. This is the basic love, the charity, that turns a critic into a living human being who has something to give to - as well as to demand of - the world.”

“Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower.”

“When you find a writer who really is saying something to you, read everything that writer has written and you will get more education and depth of understanding out of that than reading a scrap here and a scrap there and elsewhere. Then go to people who influenced that writer, or those who were related to him, and your world builds together in an organic way that is really marvelous.”

“The path of Truth is as narrow as it is straight. Even so is that of ahimsa.”

“There is a path from me to you that I am constantly looking for.”

“Step off the road. Build yourself a brand new path.”

“Let none presume to measure the irregularities of Michael Angelo or Socrates by village scales.”

“The flower which is single need not envy the thorns that are numerous.”

“Each man too is a tyrant in tendency, because he would impose his idea on others; and their trick is their natural defence. Jesuswould absorb the race; but Tom Paine or the coarsest blasphemer helps humanity by resisting this exuberance of power.”
