"But our life has become so economic and practical in its orientation that, as you get older, the claims of the moment upon you are so great, you hardly know where the hell you are, or what it is you intended.

You're always doing something that is required of you. Where is your bliss station? You have to try to find it. Get a phonograph and put on music that you really love, even if it's corny music that nobody else respects. Or get the book that you like to read. In your sacred space you get the "thou" feeling of life."

By Joseph Campbell, Power of Myth
