A 'scream' is always just that - a noise and not music.
Carl Jung
Image
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of awareness of darkness... as the contrast between what we have and how it could be worse is vital to appreciate anything, including our life, and so be happy and grateful
Carl Jung
Image
A sign is always less than the thing it points to, and a symbol is always more than we can understand at first sight. Therefore we stop at the sign but go on to the goal it indicates but we remain with the symbol because it promises more than it reveals.
Carl Jung
Image
Psychiatrists classify a person as neurotic if he suffers from his problems in living, and a psychotic if he makes others suffer.
Carl Jung
Image
People cannot stand too much Reality.
Carl Jung
Image
The true leader is always led.
Carl Jung
Image
The puzzling thing is that there is really a curious coincidence between astrological and psychological facts, so that one can isolate time from the characteristics of an individual, and also, one can deduce characteristics from a certain time.
Carl Jung
Image
Life calls us forth to independence, and anyone who does not heed this call because of childish laziness or timidity is threatened with neurosis. And once this has broken out, it becomes an increasingly valid reason for running away from life.
Carl Jung
Image
Our blight is ide­olo­gies — they are the long-expected Antichrist!
Carl Jung
Image
About a third of my cases are suffering from no clinically definable neurosis, but from the senselessness and emptiness of their lives.
Carl Jung
Image
The world hangs on a thin thread, and that is the psyche of man.
Carl Jung
Image
The greater the contrast, the greater the potential. Great energy only comes from a correspondingly great tension of opposites.
Carl Jung
Image
Conflicts create the fire of affects and emotions and like every fire it has two aspects: that of burning and that of giving light.
Carl Jung
Image
A [wo]man who is unconscious of [her/]himself acts in a blind, instinctive way and is in addition fooled by all the illusions that arise when he sees everything that he is not conscious of in himself coming to meet him from outside as projections upon his neighbour.
Carl Jung
Image
In such doubtful matters, where you have to work as a pioneer, you must be able to put some trust in your intuition and follow your feeling even at the risk of going wrong.
Carl Jung
Image
So the lion is the law-breaker. Just as to the primitive man the lion is the lawbreaker, the great nuisance, dangerous to human beings and to animals, that breaks into the Kraal at night and fetches the bull out of the herd: he is the destructive instinct.
Carl Jung
Image
If you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem.
Carl Jung
Image
At times I feel as if I am spread out over the landscape and inside things, and am myself living in every tree, in the plashing of the waves, in the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession of the seasons.
Carl Jung
Image
I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life.
Carl Jung
Image
The divine process of change manifests itself to our human understanding . . . as punishment, torment, death, and transfiguration.
Carl Jung
