More quotes by Carl Jung

Image
Only one who has risked the fight with the dragon and is not overcome by it wins the treasure hard to attain. He alone has a genuine claim to self-confidence, for he has faced the dark ground of his self and thereby has gained himself. This experience gives him faith and trust.
Carl Jung
Image
We are a psychic process which we do not control, or only partly direct. Consequently, we cannot have any final judgment about ourselves or our lives.
Carl Jung
Image
Learn your theories as well as you can, but put them aside when you touch the miracle of the living soul
Carl Jung
Image
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Carl Jung
Image
The greatest tragedy of the family is the unlived lives of the parents.
Carl Jung
Image
The psychotherapist learns little or nothing from his successes. They mainly confirm him in his mistakes, while his failures, on the other hand, are priceless experiences in that they not only open up the way to a deeper truth, but force him to change his views and methods.
Carl Jung
Image
Music is the application of sounds to the canvas of silence.
Carl Jung
Image
The distinction between mind and body is an artificial dichotomy, a discrimination which is unquestionably based far more on the peculiarity of intellectual understanding than on the nature of things.
Carl Jung
Image
Man's unconscious... contains all the patterns of life and behaviour inherited from his ancestors, so that every human child, prior to consciousness, is possessed of a potential system of adapted psychic functioning.
Carl Jung
Image
It was most essential for me to have a normal life in the real world as a counterpoise to that strange inner world. My family and my profession remained the base to which I could return.
Carl Jung
Image
A purely psychological explanation is ruled out... the discs show signs of intelligent guidance, by quasi-human pilots.
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
Image
One might expect, perhaps, that a man full of genius could pasture in the greatness of his own thoughts, and renounce the cheap approbation of the crowd which he despises yet he succumbs to the more powerful impulse of the herd instinct. His searching and his finding, his call, belong to the herd.
Carl Jung
Image
Science...is part and parcel of our knowledge and obscures our insight only when it holds that the understanding given by it is the only kind there is.
Carl Jung
Image
The squaring of the circle is a stage on the way to the unconscious, a point of transition leading to a goal lying as yet unformulated beyond it. It is one of those paths to the centre.
Carl Jung
Image
If I accept the fact that a god is absolute and beyond all human experiences, he leaves me cold. I do not affect him, nor does he affect me. But if I know that a god is a powerful impulse in my soul, at once I must concern myself with him, for then he can become important
Carl Jung
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
Meaninglessnes s inhibits fullness of life and is therefore the equivalent to illness. Meaning makes a great many things endurable--perh aps everything.
Carl Jung
Image
Wisdom accepts that all things have two sides

The most important question anyone can ask is: What myth am I living?
