Carl Jung
Image
Wo die Liebe herrscht, da gibt es keinen machtwillen, und wo die macht den vorrang hat, da fehlt die Liebe. Das eine ist der Schatten des andern. Translation: Where love rules, there is no will to power and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
Carl Jung
Image

The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced and contrasted and compared to sadness. In comparing how an experience could have been worse we develop gratitude and happiness, while if we compare it how it could have been better we develop bitterness and sadness.
Carl Jung
Image
The self as the essence of individuality is unitemporal and unique as an archetypal symbol it is a God-image and therefore universal and eternal.
Carl Jung
Image
There are cases where psychoanalysis works worse than anything else. But who said that psychoanalysis was to be applied always and everywhere.
Carl Jung
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
Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.

Wherever an inferiority complex exists, there is a good reason for it.
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.
Carl Jung
Image
It is on the whole probably that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it.
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.

Image
All true things must change and only that which changes remains true.
