“The Hero Path

We have not even to risk the adventure alone
for the heroes of all time have gone before us.
The labyrinth is thoroughly known ...
we have only to follow the thread of the hero path.
And where we had thought to find an abomination
we shall find a God.

And where we had thought to slay another
we shall slay ourselves.
Where we had thought to travel outwards
we shall come to the center of our own existence.
And where we had thought to be alone
we shall be with all the world.”
― Joseph Campbell

“Democracy is...the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people.”
― Harry Emerson Fosdick

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”
