"[Western myths] represented something that is typical to Europe and nowhere else, and that is respect for the individual and the individual path, the individual way." - Joseph Campbell
"Myth comes from the same zone as dream... from the great biological ground, whatever it may be. They are energies and they are matters of consciousness." - Joseph Campbell
"The material of myth is the material of our life, the material of our body, and the material of our environment. A living, vital mythology deals with these." - Joseph Campbell
