Life Quote by Joseph Campbell

“Moyers: Then what does love have to do with morality? Campbell: Violates it…Insofar as love expresses itself, it is not expressing itself in terms of the socially approved manners of life. That's why it is all so secret. Love has nothing to do with social order. It is a higher spiritual experience…” quote by Joseph Campbell

““Moyers: Then what does love have to do with morality? Campbell: Violates it…Insofar as love expresses itself, it is not expressing itself in terms of the socially approved manners of life. That's why it is all so secret. Love has nothing to do with social order. It is a higher spiritual experience than that of socially organized marriage…Love was a divine visitation, and that's why it was superior to marriage.””
