Carl Jung
Image
Simple things are always the most difficult.
Carl Jung
Image
It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.
Carl Jung
Image
Imagination is a concentrated extract of all the forces of life.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Image
No concept is a carrier of life.
Carl Jung
Image

Neurosis is an inner cleavage-the state of being at war with oneself.
Carl Jung
Image
How else could it have occurred to man to divide the cosmos, on the analogy of day and night, summer and winter, into a bright day-world and a dark night-world peopled with fabulous monsters, unless he had the prototype of such a division in himself, in the polarity between the conscious and the invisible and unknowable unconscious?
Carl Jung
Image
The man who speaks with primordial images, speaks with a thousand tongues.
Carl Jung
Image
If we feel our way into the human secrets of the sick person, the madness also reveals its system, and we recognize in the mental illness merely an exceptional reaction to emotional problems which are not strange to us. --The Content of the Psychoses
Carl Jung
Image
A criminal becomes a popular figure because he unburdens in no small degree the consciences of his fellow man, for now they know once more where evil is to be found.
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
