More quotes by Carl Jung
The gods have become our diseases.
Carl Jung
My work as a psychoanalyst is to help patients recover their lost wholeness and to strengthen the psyche so it can resist future dismemberment.
Carl Jung
Fidelity to the law of your own being is an act of high courage flung in the face of life.
Carl Jung
The principle aim of psychotherapy is not to transport one to an impossible state of happiness, but to help (the client) acquire steadfastness and patience in the face of suffering.
Carl Jung
The whole nature of man presupposes woman, both physically and spiritually. His system is tuned into woman from the start, just as it is prepared for a quite definite world where there is water, light, air, salt, carbohydrates etc.
Carl Jung
All ages before ours believed in gods in some form or other. Only an unparalleled impoverishment in symbolism could enable us to rediscover the gods as psychic factors, which is to say, as archetypes of the unconscious. No doubt this discovery is hardly credible as yet.
Carl Jung
Only a fool is interested in other people's guilt, since he cannot alter it. The wise man learns only from his own guilt. He will ask himself: Who am I that all this should happen to me? To find the answer to this fateful question he will look into his own heart.
Carl Jung
But what if I should discover that the least amongst them all, the poorest of all beggars, the most impudent of all offenders, yea the very fiend himself— that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness, that I myself am the enemy who must be loved— what then?
Carl Jung
The person who looks outward dreams, the person who looks inward awakens.
Carl Jung
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
Wherever an inferiority complex exists, there is a good reason for it.
Carl Jung
On the level of the Son there is no answer to the question of good and evil there is only an incurable separation of the opposites. . . . It seems to me to be the Holy Spirit's task and charge to reconcile and reunite the opposites in the human individual through a special development of the human soul.
Carl Jung
Science is the art of creating suitable illusions which the fool believes or argues against, but the wise man enjoys for their beauty or their ingenuity, without being blind to the fact that they are human veils and curtains concealing the abysmal darkness of the unknowable
Carl Jung
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
Carl Jung
We don't get wounded alone and we don't heal alone.
Carl Jung
Primitive superstition lies just below the surface of even the most tough-minded individuals, and it is precisely those who most fight against it who are the first to succumb to its suggestive effects.
Carl Jung
The symbol in the dream has more the value of a parable: it does not conceal, it teaches.
Carl Jung
Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also.
Carl Jung
Wisdom accepts that all things have two sides
Carl Jung
It is not for us . . . to send out missionaries to foreign peoples it is our task to build up our own Western culture.
Carl Jung
