In thirty years I have treated many patients. Among all my patients in the second half of life, every one of them fell ill because he had lost that which the living religions of every age had given their followers, and none of them was really healed who did not regain his religious outlook.
Carl Jung

The little world of childhood with its familiar surroundings is a model of the greater world.

The divine process of change manifests itself to our human understanding . . . as punishment, torment, death, and transfiguration.
Carl Jung
Image
The doctor is effective only when he himself is affected. Only the wounded physician heals.
Carl Jung
Image
The psychiatrist knows only too well how each of us becomes the helpless but not pitiable victim of his own sentiments. Sentimentality is the superstructure erected upon brutality.
Carl Jung
Image
I came to Freud for facts. I read 'The Interpretation of Dreams' and I thought- 'Oh, here is a man who is not just theorizing away, here is a man who has got facts.
Carl Jung

Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.

Plato's world of ideas is beautiful.
Carl Jung

Where do we live symbolically? Nowhere except where we participate in the ritual of life.
Carl Jung

Perfection belongs to the Gods the most we can hope for is excellence.

Whether you call the principle of existence God, matter, energy, or anything else you like, you have created nothing you have merely changed a symbol. Eastern and Western Thinking, 1938
