Image
Conflicts create the fire of affects and emotions and like every fire it has two aspects: that of burning and that of giving light.
Carl Jung
Image
Just as we tend to assume that the world is as we see it, we naively suppose that people are as we imagine them to be.
Carl Jung
Image
VOCATUS ATQUE NON VOCATUS DEUS ADERIT.
Carl Jung
Image
Dreams are the guiding words of the Soul.
Carl Jung
Image
The more intelligent and cultured a man is, the more subtly he can humbug himself.
Carl Jung
Image
The underlying, primary psychic reality is so inconceivably complex that it can be grasped only at the farthest reach of intuition, and then but very dimly. That is why it needs symbols.
Carl Jung
Image
Our blight is ide­olo­gies — they are the long-expected Antichrist!
Carl Jung
Image
Dawn is born at midnight.
Carl Jung
Image
Only a few individuals succeed in throwing off mythology in a time of a certain intellectual supremacy--the mass never frees itself.
Carl Jung
Image
Without playing with fantasy, no creative work has yet come into being.
Carl Jung
Image
Dream the dream onward.
Carl Jung
Image
Whenever there is a reaching down into innermost experience, into the nucleus of personality, most people are overcome by fear and many run away. . . The risk of inner experience, the adventure of the spirit, is in any case alien to most human beings. The possibility that such experience might have psychic reality is anathema to them.
Carl Jung
Image
Creativity is the art that can give rise to visionary metaphorical relationships, as opposed to purely psy-chological ones.
Carl Jung
Image
Dream analysis stands or falls with [the hypothesis of the unconscious]. Without it the dream appears to be merely a freak of nature, a meaningless conglomerate of memory-fragments left over from the happenings of the day.
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
No concept is a carrier of life.
Carl Jung
Image
I deliberately and consciously give preference to a dramatic, mythological way of thinking and speaking, because this is not only more expressive but also more exact than an abstract scientific terminology, which is wont to toy with the notion that its theoretic formulations may one fine day be resolved into algebraic equations.
Carl Jung
Image
Be simple and always take the next step. You needn't see it in advance, but you can look back at it afterwards.There is no 'how' of life, one just does it.
Carl Jung
Image
The whole point of Jesus's life was not that we should become exactly like him, but that we should become ourselves in the same way he became himself. Jesus was not the great exception but the great example.
Carl Jung
Image
I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud.
Carl Jung
