Joseph Campbell Quotes

The Problem Is That People Have Tried To Look Away From Space And From The Meaning Of The Moon Landing. I Remember Seeing A Picture Of An Astronaut Standing On The Moon. It Was Up At Yale And Someone Has Scrawled On It, 'So What?' That Is The Arrogance Of The Kind Of Academic Narrowness One Too Often Sees; It Is Trapped In Its Own Predictable Prejudices, Its Own Stale Categories. It Is The Mind Dulled To The Poetry Of Existence. It's Fashionable Now To Demand Some Economic Payoff From Space, Some Reward To Prove It Was All Worthwhile. Those Who Say This Resemble The Apelike Creatures In 2001. They Are Fighting For Food Among Themselves, While One Separates Himself From Them And Moves To The Slab, Motivated By Awe. That Is The Point They Are Missing. He Is The One Who Evolves Into A Human Being; He Is The One Who Understands The Future.
