Quote by -Luke Bryan
"Claret is the liquor for boys; port, for men; but he who aspires to be a hero must drink brandy"
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"As we reflect back upon the tragic loss of Challenger and her brave crew of heroes who were aboard that fateful day, I am reminded that they truly represented the best of us, as they climbed aloft on a plume of propellant gasses, reaching for the stars, to inspire us who were Earthbound."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
"Joss Whedon is a hero of mine, and what he's done for women in film and television, particularly when it comes to writing female roles that would typically go to a man, is awesome."
Quote by -Bryce Dallas
“We need not take refuge in supernatural gods to explain our saints and sages and heroes and statesmen, as if to explain our disbelief that mere unaided human beings could be that good or wise.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Every age but ours has had its model, its ideal. All of these have been given up by our culture; the saint, the hero, the gentleman, the knight, the mystic. About all we have left is the well-adjusted man without problems, a very pale and doubtful substitute.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.
Quote by -Umberto Eco
He was simply not a “hero”, which is to say, he did not let his relationship with the man be determined by the woman.
Quote by -Thomas Mann
As athletes, we think we're heroes, but when you witness firsthand what I saw yesterday, you realize who the real heroes are.
Quote by -Tom Brady
Truth might be heroic, but it was not within the range of practical domestic politics.
Quote by -Samuel Beckett
I can never be the hero now. You have to be young and all that stuff. I used to be the hero.
Quote by -Sir Michael Caine
“And a hero isn’t someone who doesn’t feel fear, they’re someone who in spite of their fear does the right thing and really risks their own safety,”
Quote by -David Finkel
When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
What I think is that a good life is one hero journey after another. Over and over again, you are called to the realm of adventure, you are called to new horizons. Each time, there is the same problem: do I dare? And then if you do dare, the dangers are there, and the help also, and the fulfillment or the fiasco. There's always the possibility of fiasco. But there's also the possibility of bliss.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
For we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heros of all time have gone before us...
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
There is what I would call the hero journey, the night sea journey, the hero quest, where the individual is going to bring forth in his life something that was never beheld before.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Whether you call someone a hero or a monster is all relative to where the focus of your consciousness may be.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
But the makers of legend have seldom rested content to regard the world's great heroes as mere human beings who broke past the horizons that limited their fellows and returned such boons as any man with equal faith and courage might have found.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The hero journey is inside of you; tear off the veils and open the mystery of your self.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
How teach again, however, what has been taught correctly and incorrectly learned a thousand thousand times, throughout the millenniums of mankind's prudent folly? That is the hero's ultimate difficult task.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
When you follow your bliss...doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors, and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The privilege of a lifetime is beingwho you are.The goal of the hero tripdown to the jewel pointis to find those levels in the psychethat open, open, openand finally open to the mystery of your Selfbeing Buddha consciousnessor the Christ.That's the journey.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Typically, the hero of the fairy tale achieves a domestic, microcosmic triumph, and the hero of myth a world-historica l, macrocosmic triumph. Whereas the former-the youngest or despised child who becomes the master of extraordinary powers-prevails over his personal oppressors, the latter brings back from his adventure the means for the regeneration of his society as a whole.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The modern hero-deed must be that of questing to bring to light again the lost Atlantis of the co-ordinated Soul.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The usual hero adventure begins with someone from whom something has been taken, or who feels there is something lacking in the normal experience available or permitted to the members of society. The person then takes off on a series of adventures beyond the ordinary, either to recover what has been lost or to discover some life-giving elixir. It's usually a cycle, a coming and a returning.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone; for the heroes of all time have gone before us, the labyrinth is fully 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; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
I prefer the gradual path My feeling is that mythic forms reveal themselves gradually in the course of your life if you know what they are and how to pay attention to their emergence. My own initiation into the mythic depths of the unconscious has been through the mind, through the books that surround me in this library. I have recognized in my quest all the stages of the hero's journey. I had my calls to adventure, my guides, demons, and illuminations.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Every hero must have the courage to be alone, to take the journey for himself.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder. Fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
It is not society which is to guide and save the creative hero, but precisely the reverse.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
Breaking out is following your bliss pattern, quitting the old place, starting your hero journey, following your bliss. You throw off yesterday as the snake sheds its skin.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The ultimate dreamer is Vishnu floating on the cosmic Milky Ocean, couched upon the coils of the abyssal serpent Ananta, the meaning of whose name is Unending. In the foreground stand the five Pandava brothers, heroes of the epic Mahabharata, with Draupadi, their wife: allegorically, she is the mind and they are the five senses.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The hero, therefore, is the man or woman who has been able to battle past his personal and local historical limitations.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The hero, whether god or goddess, man or woman, the figure in a myth or the dreamer of a dream discovers and assimilates his opposite (his own unsuspected self) either by swallowing it or by being swallowed.
Quote by -Joseph Campbell
The mighty hero of extraordinary powers, able to lift Mount Govardhan on a finger, and to fill himself with the terrible glory of the universe, is each of us: not the physical self visible in the mirror, but the King within.
