How difficult it is to reach anything approaching a moderate and relatively calm point of view in the midst of one's emotions.
Carl Jung
Image
Whenever you hear anyone talking about a cultural or even about a human problem, you should never forget to inquire who the speaker really is. The more general the problem, the more the person will smuggle his or her own personal psychology into the account he or she gives of it.
Carl Jung
Image
Every man carries within himself the eternal image of woman, not the image of this or that particular woman, but a definite feminine image. This image is fundamentally unconscious, a hereditary factor of primordial origin.
Carl Jung
Image
Psychiatrists classify a person as neurotic if he suffers from his problems in living, and a psychotic if he makes others suffer.
Carl Jung
Image
Life really does begin at forty. Up until then, you are just doing research.
Carl Jung
Image
The psyche is a natural phenomenon. All aspects of the psyche, even those which seem pathological or destructive, actually serve the function of furthering our psychological development.
Carl Jung
Image
The divine process of change manifests itself to our human understanding . . . as punishment, torment, death, and transfiguration.
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 doctor is effective only when he himself is affected. Only the wounded physician heals.
Carl Jung
Image
We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts. Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective principles. As the man is, so will be his ultimate truth.
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 majority of my patients consisted not of believers but of those who had lost their faith.
Carl Jung
Image
Deeply listening to music opens up new avenues of research I'd never even dreamed of. I feel from now on music should be an essential part of every analysis.
Carl Jung
Image
One cannot live without inconsistency.
Carl Jung
Image
Where do we live symbolically? Nowhere except where we participate in the ritual of life.
Carl Jung
Image
Neurosis is the natural by-product of pain avoidance.
Carl Jung
Image
For, in order to turn the individual into a function of the State, his dependence on anything beside the State must be taken from him.
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
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
As any change must begin somewhere, it is the single individual who will experience it and carry it through. The change must indeed begin with an individual it might be any one of us. Nobody can afford to look round and to wait for somebody else to do what he is loath to do himself.
Carl Jung
