Famous Quotes about purpose

Joseph Campbell quote #134 from The Power of Myth

Shakespeare said that art is a mirror held up to nature. And thats what it is. The nature is your nature and all of these wonderful poetic images of mythology are referring to something in you. When your mind is trapped by the image out there so that you never make the reference to yourself you have misread the image.The inner world is the world of your requirements and your energies and your structure and your possibilities that meets the outer world. And the outer world is the field of your incarnation. Thats where you are. Youve got to keep both going. As Novalis said The seat of the soul is there where the inner and outer worlds meet.

Julie Kagawa quote #96 from The Iron Knight

Wow Puck mused standing beside me. The River of Dreams. ... Moons comets and constellations rippled on the surface and other stranger things floated upon the misty black waters. Petals and book pages butterfly wings and silver medals. The hilt of a sword stuck out of the water at an odd angle the silver blade tangled with ribbons and spiderwebs. A coffin bobbed to the surface covered in dead lilies before sinking into the depths once more. The debris of human imaginations floating through the dark waters of dream and nightmare.
