Quote by David Knopfler
My faith, inasmuch as I have any, is more like a kind of Joseph Campbell thing, and even that frequently finds itself tested to oblivion in siren waters.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker expresses their faith, or lack thereof, in a way that can be compared to Joseph Campbell's beliefs. Joseph Campbell was a renowned scholar of mythology, known for his theory of the hero's journey and the universality of mythological themes across cultures. The speaker suggests that their faith is not necessarily grounded in organized religion or personal convictions but rather in the exploration and interpretation of universal human experiences and narratives. The reference to "siren waters" may symbolize the challenges and doubts that frequently undermine their faith.
