Joseph Campbell quotes ~
• “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.”
• “I don't have to have faith, I have experience.”
• “Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.”
• “I think the person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say, for the money - has turned himself into a slave.”
• “Love is a friendship set to music.”
• “Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.”
• “Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.”
• “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.”
• “God is a metaphor for that which trancends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.”
• “Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.”
• “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.”

Marie-Louise von Franz
b. 1-4-1915; Munich, Germany
d. 2-17-1998

Marie-Louise von Franz was a Jungian psychologist and scholar, researching the archetypes, numbers, fairy tales, alchemy, and active imagination. Von Franz also worked with Emma Jung on the Holy Grail and with Wolfgang Pauli.

Marie-Louise von Franz quotes ~
• “Creativity sometimes needs the protection of darkness, of being ignored. That is very obvious in the natural tendency many artists and writers have not to show their paintings or writings before they are finished.”
• “The ego must be able to listen attentively and to give itself, without any further design or purpose, to that inner urge toward growth. ... People living in cultures more securely rooted than our own have less trouble in understanding that it is necessary to give up the utilitarian attitude of conscious planning in order to make way for the inner growth of the personality.”
• “... psychology, in contrast to all the other sciences, cannot afford to overlook feeling. It has to take into consideration the feeling tone and emotional value of outer and inner factors, including the observer's feeling reaction as well.”
• “If you notice an unconscious fantasy coming up within you, you would be wise not to interpret it at once. Do not say that you know what it is and force it into consciousness. Just let it live with you, leaving it in the half-dark, carry it with you and watch where it is going or what it is driving at.”
• “Number, as it were, lies behind the psychic realm as a dynamic ordering principle, the primal element of which Jung called spirit. As an archetype, number becomes not only a psychic factor, but more generally, a world-structuring factor. In other words, numbers point to a background reality in which psyche and matter are no longer distinguishable.”
• “The mathematical forms of order which the mind of a physicist manipulates coincides ‘miraculously’ with experimental measurements.”
