More quotes by Carl Jung

Image
The darkness which clings to every personality is the door into the unconscious and the gateway of dreams, from which those two twilight figures, the shadow and the anima, step into our nightly visions or, remaining invisible, take possession of our ego-consciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
Man cannot stand a meaningless life.
Carl Jung
Image
As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know.
Carl Jung
Image
We do not feel as if we were producing the dreams, it is rather as if the dreams came to us. They are not subject to our control but obey their own laws.
Carl Jung
Image
You always become the thing you fight the most.
Carl Jung
Image
In such doubtful matters, where you have to work as a pioneer, you must be able to put some trust in your intuition and follow your feeling even at the risk of going wrong.
Carl Jung
Image
Knowledge does not enrich us it removes us more and more from the mythic world in which we were once at home by right of birth.
Carl Jung
Image
The symbols of the self arise in the depths of the body, and they express its materiality every bit as much as the perceiving consciousness. The symbol is thus a living body
Carl Jung
Image
The judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth.
Carl Jung
Image
The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you.
Carl Jung
Image
We discover ourselves through others.
Carl Jung
Image
Science is the tool of the Western mind and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands.
Carl Jung
Image
A collection of a hundred great brains makes one big fathead.
Carl Jung
Image
We can hardly escape the feeling that the unconscious process moves spiral-wise round a centre, gradually getting closer, while the characteristics of the centre grow more and more distinct.
Carl Jung
Image
God enters through the wound.
Carl Jung
Image
Unfortunately, there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and darker it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it
Carl Jung
Image
But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning — for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.
Carl Jung
Image
To find out what is truly individual in ourselves, profound reflection is needed and suddenly we realize how uncommonly difficult the discovery of individuality is.
Carl Jung
Image
Part of the human Self or Soul is not subject to laws of space and time.
Carl Jung
Image
The self is defined psychologically as the psychic totality of the individual. Anything that a [person] postulates as being a greater totality than [oneself] can become a symbol of the self. For this reason the symbol of the self is not always as total as the definition would require.
Carl Jung
