ALIVENESS

ALIVENESS

• There is no wealth but life. — John Ruskin

• What people really seek, even if they project it sometimes onto outer objects, is the feeling of being alive. — Maria Von Franz

• People say that what we’re all seeking a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. That’s what it’s all finally about. — Joseph Campbell

• Being alive is the meaning.  — Joseph Campbell

• Restfulness is a quality for cattle; the virtues are all active, life is alert. — Robert Louis Stevenson
