Fidelity to the law of your own being is an act of high courage flung in the face of life.
Carl Jung
Image
Part of the human Self or Soul is not subject to laws of space and time.
Carl Jung
Image
I live in my deepest hell and from there I cannot fall any further.
Carl Jung
Image
Doesn't the world bring forth thinking in human heads with the same necessity that it brings forth blossoms on the plant?
Carl Jung
Image
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of awareness of darkness... as the contrast between what we have and how it could be worse is vital to appreciate anything, including our life, and so be happy and grateful
Carl Jung
Image
Since psyche and matter are contained in one and the same world, and moreover are in continuous contact with one another and ultimately rest on irrepresentable, transcendental factors, it is not only possible but fairly probable, even, that psyche and matter are two different aspects of the same thing.
Carl Jung
Image
Man cannot stand a meaningless life.
Carl Jung
Image
Life calls us forth to independence, and anyone who does not heed this call because of childish laziness or timidity is threatened with neurosis. And once this has broken out, it becomes an increasingly valid reason for running away from life.
Carl Jung
Image
Obviously astrology has much to offer psychology, but what the latter can offer its elder sister is less evident. So far as I judge, it would seem to me advantageous for astrology to take the existence of psychology into account, above all the psychology of the personality and of the unconscious.
Carl Jung
Image
Faith, hope, love, and insight are the highest achievements of human effort. They are found-given-by experience.
Carl Jung
Image
Science has destroyed even the refuge of the inner life. What was once a sheltering haven has become a place of terror
Carl Jung
Image
All fanaticism is repressed doubt.
Carl Jung
Image
Once upon a time men were possessed by devils. Now they are not less obsessed by ideas
Carl Jung
Image
Everyone is in love with his own ideas
Carl Jung
Image
What we lack is intensity of life.
Carl Jung
Image
Life is a luminous pause between two mysteries that are yet one.
Carl Jung
Image
What happens after death is so unspeakably glorious that our imagination and our feelings do not suffice to form even an approximate conception of it. The dissolution of our time-bound form in eternity brings no loss of meaning.
Carl Jung
Image
An old man who cannot bid farewell to life appears as feeble and sickly as the young man who is unable to embrace it.
Carl Jung
Image
There are all too many who, on account of their notorious ineptitude, thrive better in a rationalist system than in freedom. Freedom is one of those difficult things.
Carl Jung
Image
Personality is the supreme realization of the innate idiosyncracy of a living being. It is an act of high courage flung in the face of life, the absolute affirmation of all that constitutes the individual, the most successful adaptation to the universal conditions of existence coupled with the greatest possible freedom for self-determination.
Carl Jung
