No matter what the world thinks about religious experience, the one who has it possesses a great treasure, a thing that has become for him a source of life, meaning, and beauty, and that has given a new splendor to the world and to mankind.

The main interest of my work is not concerned with the treatment of neuroses but rather with the approach to the numinous. But the fact that the approach to the numinous is the real therapy, and inasmuch as you attain to the numinous experience you are released from the curse of pathology. Even the very disease takes on a numinous character.

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.

Learn your techniques well and be prepared to let them go when you touch the human soul.

I came to Freud for facts. I read 'The Interpretation of Dreams' and I thought- 'Oh, here is a man who is not just theorizing away, here is a man who has got facts.

Our blight is ide­olo­gies — they are the long-expected Antichrist!

The teacher pretended that algebra was a perfectly natural affair, to be taken for granted, whereas I didn't even know what numbers were. Mathematics classes became sheer terror and torture to me. I was so intimidated by my incomprehension that I did not dare to ask any questions.

Psychiatrists classify a person as neurotic if he suffers from his problems in living, and a psychotic if he makes others suffer.

The greater the contrast, the greater the potential. Great energy only comes from a correspondingly great tension of opposites.

Sensation tell us a thing is. Thinking tell us what it is this thing is. Feeling tells us what this thing is to us.
