JED B needs help locating a Campbell source.

Post by Cindy B. »

Hey, all.


JED B sent me the following PM and has agreed to my sharing it on the board:
Cindy:

I'm writing a book and planning to quote J.C.:
“Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.” (Campbell, )
Unfortunately - after HOURS on the internet, I cannot find the actual source of the quote: (book? article? interview? date? publisher? etc?)

Can you or someone PLEASE help me????

J. Davidson

Thanks for your help! :)



P.S. So far I've thoroughly checked Pathways to Bliss and found nothing so you know, that is, no need to bother checking there. Same for Reflections.

Thought it was in POM, but it's not. Something similar though. Google the quote and it's all over the place and NO ONE CITES THEIR SOURCES!!!

I hate that.

Hi again, JED.

As I mentioned in our PMs, this morning I left a message for Clemsy about sending your request up the line since we've had no luck on the board. I'm not sure how long this will take, but it won't be too long.

Any idea, Clemsy, what's up with the JCF powers-that-be? Thanks. :)
