Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning. – Joseph Campbell
I dont believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive. – Joseph Campbell
Were so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget that the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what its all about. – Joseph Campbell
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. – Joseph Campbell
