Carl Jung
Image
The reason for evil in the world is that people are not able to tell their stories.
Carl Jung

Modern man is sick because he is not whole.
Carl Jung
Image
From the living fountain of instinct flows everything that is creative hence the unconscious is not merely conditioned by history, but is the very source of the creative impulse. It is like nature herself - prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation.

Had I left those images hidden in the emotions, I might have been torn to pieces by them.
Carl Jung

Not only does the psyche exist, but it is existence itself. It is an almost absurd prejudice to suppose that existence can only be physical...We might well say, on the contrary, that physical existence is a mere inference, since we know of matter only in so far as we perceive psychic images mediated by the senses.
Carl Jung
Image
There is no light without shadow, and no psychic wholeness without imperfection.
Carl Jung

Psychoanalysis cannot be considered a method of education if by education we mean the topiary art of clipping a tree into a beautiful artificial shape. But those who have a higher conception of education will prize most the method of cultivating a tree so that it fulfils to perfection its own natural conditions of growth.
Carl Jung
Image
The psychic depths are nature, and nature is creative life.
Carl Jung
Image
That which we do not confront in ourselves we will meet as fate.
Carl Jung
Image
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Carl Jung
Image
I know that previously I would not have dared to express myself so explicitly about so uncertain a matter. I can take this risk because I am now in my eighth decade, and the changing opinions of men scarcely impress me any more the thoughts of the old masters are of greater value to me than the philosophical prejudices of the Western mind.
Carl Jung
Image
In knowing ourselves to be unique, we possess the capacity for becoming conscious of the infinite. But only then!
Carl Jung
Image
Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering.
Carl Jung
Image
The more intelligent and cultured a man is, the more subtly he can humbug himself.
Carl Jung
Image
I have gradually learned to be cautious even in disbelief

Music is the application of sounds to the canvas of silence.
