“If the path before you is clear, you're probably on someone else's.”

“You enter the forest
at the darkest point,
where there is no path.

Where there is a way or path,
it is someone else's path.

You are not on your own path.

If you follow someone else's way,
you are not going to realize
your potential.”

Joseph Campbell (1904–1987) American mythologist, writer and lecturer

Malcolm Bradbury (1932–2000) English author and academic

“They thought that it would be a disgrace to go forth as a group. Each entered the forest at a point that he himself had chosen, where it was darkest and there was no path. If there is a path it is someone else's path and you are not on the adventure.”

Joseph Campbell (1904–1987) American mythologist, writer and lecturer

“Isn't it better to be alone than pretend you're someone else? Be you. Find you. Be happy with that.”
