Quote

The sight of a child…will arouse certain longings in adult, civilized persons — longings which relate to the unfulfilled desires and needs of those parts of the personality which have been blotted out of the total picture in favor of the adapted persona.

Image
If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.
Carl Jung
Image
Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart through the world.
Carl Jung
Image
We don't so much solve our problems as we outgrow them. We add capacities and experiences that eventually make us bigger than the problems.
Carl Jung
Image
When you are up against a wall, put down roots like a tree, until clarity comes from deeper sources to see over that wall and grow.
Carl Jung
Image
You can take away a man's gods, but only to give him others in return.
Carl Jung
Image
The underlying, primary psychic reality is so inconceivably complex that it can be grasped only at the farthest reach of intuition, and then but very dimly. That is why it needs symbols.
Carl Jung
Image
There is no light without shadow, and no psychic wholeness without imperfection.
Carl Jung
Image
Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.
Carl Jung
Image
We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts. Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective principles. As the man is, so will be his ultimate truth.
Carl Jung
Image
How else could it have occurred to man to divide the cosmos, on the analogy of day and night, summer and winter, into a bright day-world and a dark night-world peopled with fabulous monsters, unless he had the prototype of such a division in himself, in the polarity between the conscious and the invisible and unknowable unconscious?
Carl Jung
Image
Called or not, God is always there.
Carl Jung
Image
The most important question anyone can ask is: What myth am I living?
Carl Jung
Image
Since psyche and matter are contained in one and the same world, and moreover are in continuous contact with one another and ultimately rest on irrepresentable, transcendental factors, it is not only possible but fairly probable, even, that psyche and matter are two different aspects of the same thing.
Carl Jung
Image
The sure path can only lead to death.
Carl Jung
Image
Metaphysical assertions, however, are statements of the psyche, and are therefore psychological. Whenever the Westerner hears the word “psychological,” it always sounds to him like “only psychological.
Carl Jung
Image
In each of us is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves.
Carl Jung
Image
The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection, in which are reflected the mythologems, i.e., the archetypes. In this vision astrology and alchemy, the two classical functionaries of the psychology of the collective unconscious, join hands.
Carl Jung
Image
Healing proceeds from the depths to the heights.
Carl Jung
Image
People learn from who we are, rather than what we say, and to believe otherwise is a disease of the mind.
Carl Jung

An archetypal content expresses itself, first and foremost, in metaphors.
