Esta vida (por Joseph Campbell):


Find a place inside where there’s joy and the joy will burn out the pain.

The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be.

One way or the other we all have to find what best fosters the flowering of our humanity in this contemporary life and dedicate ourselves to that.

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

A person who takes a job purely for the money has turned himself into a slave.

Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems more challenging.

We’re so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value, that we forget the inner value. The rapture that is associated with being alive is what’s all about.

Is the system going to flatten you out and deny you your own humanity, or are you going to be able to make use of the system to attain your human purposes?

E, finalmente, as minhas favoritas:
1 – The cave that you fear to enter holds the treasure that you long to seek.
2 – It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.
3 – Love is a friendship set to music.
