Quote

Dreams are symbolic in order that they cannot be understood in order that the wish, which is the source of the dream, may remain unknown.

More quotes by Carl Jung

Image
Dreams are the guiding words of the Soul.
Carl Jung
Image
Intuition is perception via the unconscious that brings forth ideas, images, new possibilities and ways out of blocked situations.
Carl Jung
Image
Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you.
Carl Jung
Image
We are living in what the Greeks called the kairos - the right moment - for a 'metamorphosis of the gods', of the fundamental principles and symbols. This peculiarity of our time, which is certainly not of our conscious choosing, is the expression of the unconscious man within us who is changing.
Carl Jung
Image
I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud.
Carl Jung
Image
We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
Carl Jung
Image
I readily admit that I have such a great respect for what happens in the human soul that I would be afraid of disturbing and distorting the silent operation of nature by clumsy interference.
Carl Jung
Image
Our heart glows, and secret unrest gnaws at the root of our being. Dealing with the unconscious has become a question of life for us.
Carl Jung
Image
All ages before ours believed in gods in some form or other. Only an unparalleled impoverishment in symbolism could enable us to rediscover the gods as psychic factors, which is to say, as archetypes of the unconscious. No doubt this discovery is hardly credible as yet.
Carl Jung
Image
From the viewpoint of analytic psychology, the theatre, aside from any aesthetic value, may be considered as an institution for the treatment of the mass complex.
Carl Jung
Image
In such doubtful matters, where you have to work as a pioneer, you must be able to put some trust in your intuition and follow your feeling even at the risk of going wrong.
Carl Jung
Image
Where wisdom reigns, there is no conflict between thinking and feeling.
Carl Jung
Image
Intuition does not denote something contrary to reason, but something outside of the province of reason.
Carl Jung
Image
The psychiatrist knows only too well how each of us becomes the helpless but not pitiable victim of his own sentiments. Sentimentality is the superstructure erected upon brutality.
Carl Jung
Image
I don't aspire to be a good man. I aspire to be a whole man.
Carl Jung
Image
The best political, social, and spiritual work we can do is to withdraw the projection of our shadow onto others.
Carl Jung
Image
The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows it to realize its supreme purpose through him.
Carl Jung
Image
Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.
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
When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate.
Carl Jung
