Aging people should know that their lives are not mounting and unfolding but that an inexorable inner process forces the contraction of life. For a young person it is almost a sin and certainly a danger to be too much occupied with himself but for the aging person it is a duty and a necessity to give serious attention to himself.
Carl Jung
Image
How can anyone see straight when he does not see himself and the darkness he unconsciously carries with him into all his dealings?
Carl Jung
Image
The mind has grown to its present state of consciousness as an acorn grows into an oak, or as saurians developed into mammals.
Carl Jung

I am the triple owner of the world, the finest Turkey, the Lorelei, Germania and Helvetia of exclusively sweet butter and Naples, and I must supply the whole world with macaroni.
