Explore life’s deepest, most transformative force through the words of the legendary mythologist Joseph Campbell. On Love presents quotations from Campbell’s wide-ranging body of work on the universal stories that connect cultures across time and space. His insights offer a deeper understanding of love as a dynamic journey animating every aspect of the human experience — spiritual, emotional, and existential — and calling us to embrace life’s struggles as opportunities to be remade again and again. Joseph Campbell (1904–1987) was a renowned American author and scholar of comparative mythology. His groundbreaking work The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949) introduced the concept of the “hero’s journey,” a universal pattern found in myths across cultures. Campbell’s theories were influenced by his studies in Europe, the work of Picasso and Joyce, Freud’s and Jung’s theories about the human psyche, his lifelong interest in Native American cultures, and his translation with Swami Nikhilananda of the Upanishads and The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna . In 1988, the PBS series The Power of Myth brought his ideas to a global audience, solidifying his legacy in the study of mythology.
