Image
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. They then dwell in the house next door, and at any moment a flame may dart out and set fire to his own house. Whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force.
Carl Jung
Image
Imagination is a concentrated extract of all the forces of life.
Carl Jung
Image
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
The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic poison which alienates the possessor from the community.
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
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
One cannot free oneself by bowing to the yoke, but by breaking it.
Carl Jung
Image
If there is a fear of falling, the only safety consists in deliberately jumping.
Carl Jung
Image
It is the function of the Church to oppose all original experience, because this can only be unorthodox.
Carl Jung
Image
In the history of the collective as in the history of the individual, everything depends on the development of consciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
It is also possible for the unconscious or an archetype to take complete possession of a man and to determine his fate down to the smallest detail
Carl Jung
Image
If we feel our way into the human secrets of the sick person, the madness also reveals its system, and we recognize in the mental illness merely an exceptional reaction to emotional problems which are not strange to us. --The Content of the Psychoses
Carl Jung
Image
Doesn't the world bring forth thinking in human heads with the same necessity that it brings forth blossoms on the plant?
Carl Jung
Image
We are so accustomed to the apparently rational nature of our world that we can scarcely imagine anything happening that cannot be explained by common sense. The primitive man confronted by a shock of this kind would not doubt his sanity he would think of fetishes, spirits or gods
Carl Jung
Image
My interests drew me in different directions. On the one hand I was powerfully attracted by science, with its truths based on facts on the other hand I was fascinated by everything to do with comparative religion. [...] In science I missed the factor of meaning and in religion, that of empiricism.

Image
Embrace your grief. For there, your soul will grow.
Carl Jung
Image
To be normal is the ultimate aim of the unsuccessful.
Carl Jung
Image
You are a slave of what you need in your soul.

Image
Medicines cure diseases, but only doctors can cure patients.
Carl Jung
Image
The unconscious is not just evil by nature, it is also the source of the highest good: not only dark but also light, not only bestial, semihuman, and demonic but superhuman, spiritual, and, in the classical sense of the word, divine.
Carl Jung
