Quote

The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows it to realize its supreme purpose through him.

Image
Criticism can be effective when there is something that must be destroyed or dissolved, but it is capable only of harm when there is something to be built.
Carl Jung
Image
Medicines cure diseases, but only doctors can cure patients.
Carl Jung
Image
The reason for evil in the world is that people are not able to tell their stories.
Carl Jung
Image
We carry our past with us, to wit, the primitive and inferior man with his desires and emotions, and it is only with an enormous effort that we can detach ourselves from this burden. If it comes to a neurosis, we invariably have to deal with a considerably intensified shadow.
Carl Jung
Image
Man positively needs general ideas and convictions that will give a meaning to his life and enable him to find a place for himself in the universe.
Carl Jung
Image
In thirty years I have treated many patients. Among all my patients in the second half of life, every one of them fell ill because he had lost that which the living religions of every age had given their followers, and none of them was really healed who did not regain his religious outlook.
Carl Jung
Image
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
Carl Jung
Image
When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate.
Carl Jung
Image
The main interest of my work is not concerned with the treatment of neuroses but rather with the approach to the numinous. But the fact that the approach to the numinous is the real therapy, and inasmuch as you attain to the numinous experience you are released from the curse of pathology. Even the very disease takes on a numinous character.
Carl Jung
Image
We all must do what Christ did. We must make our experiment. We must make mistakes. We must live out our own version of life. And there will be error. If you avoid error you do not live.
Carl Jung
Image
God enters through the wound.
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
The best political, social, and spiritual work we can do is to withdraw the projection of our shadow onto others.
Carl Jung
Image
We often dream about people from whom we receive a letter by the next post. I have ascertained on several occasions that at the moment when the dream occurred the letter was already lying in the post-office of the addressee.
Carl Jung
Image
The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.
Carl Jung
Image
The highest, most decisive experience is to be alone with one's own self. You must be alone to find out what supports you, when you find that you can not support yourself. Only this experience can give you an indestructible foundation.
Carl Jung
Image
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort.
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
Image
Modern man may assert that he can dispense with them, and he may bolster his opinion by insisting that there is no scientific evidence of their truth. But since we are dealing with invisible and unknowable things (for God is beyond human understanding, and there is no mean of proving immortality), why should we bother with evidence?
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
