Whether you call the principle of existence God, matter, energy, or anything else you like, you have created nothing you have merely changed a symbol. Eastern and Western Thinking, 1938
Carl Jung
Image
The more veiled becomes the outside world, steadily losing in colour, tone and passions, the more urgently the inner world calls us
Carl Jung
Image
The psyche is a natural phenomenon. All aspects of the psyche, even those which seem pathological or destructive, actually serve the function of furthering our psychological development.
Carl Jung
Image
Every victory contains the germ of future defeat.
Carl Jung
Image

Carl Jung
Image
To the critical intelligence, nothing is left of absolute reality.
Carl Jung
Image
Unfortunately, there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be.
