Citações Joseph Campbell
„The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.“
— Joseph Campbell, A Joseph Campbell Companion: Reflections on the Art of Living
„The passage of the mythological hero“
— Joseph Campbell, livro The Hero with a Thousand Faces
The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), Context: The passage of the mythological hero may be overground, incidentally; fundamentally it is inward—into depths where obscure resistances are overcome, and long lost, forgotten powers are revivified, to be made available for the transfiguration of the world.... Something of the light that blazes invisible within the abysses of its normally opaque materiality breaks forth, with an increasing uproar. The dreadful mutilations are then seen as shadows, only, of an immanent, imperishable eternity; time yields to glory; and the world sings with the prodigious, angelic, but perhaps finally monotonous, siren music of the spheres. Like happy families, the myths and the worlds redeemed are all alike.
