Image
To me dreams are part of nature, which harbors no intention to deceive but expresses something as best it can.
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
Only the wounded physician heals.
Carl Jung
Image
The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life.
Carl Jung
Image
Not nature, but the genius of mankind, has knotted the hangman's noose with which it can execute itself at any moment.
Carl Jung
Image
Life calls not for perfection, but for completeness.
Carl Jung

That which we do not confront in ourselves we will meet as fate.
Carl Jung

You are what you do, not what you say you'll do.

One cannot free oneself by bowing to the yoke, but by breaking it.
Carl Jung
Image
But what if I should discover that the least amongst them all, the poorest of all beggars, the most impudent of all offenders, yea the very fiend himself— that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness, that I myself am the enemy who must be loved— what then?
Carl Jung
Image
Personality is the supreme realization of the innate idiosyncracy of a living being. It is an act of high courage flung in the face of life, the absolute affirmation of all that constitutes the individual, the most successful adaptation to the universal conditions of existence coupled with the greatest possible freedom for self-determination.
Carl Jung
Image
Every victory contains the germ of future defeat.
Carl Jung
Image
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
Carl Jung
Image
Every individual needs revolution, inner division, overthrow of the existing order, and renewal, but not by forcing them upon his neighbors under the hypocritical cloak of Christian love or the sense of social responsibility or any of the other beautiful euphemisms for unconscious urges to personal power.
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. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and darker it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it
Carl Jung
Image
The man of today, who resembles more or less the collective ideal, has made his heart into a den of murderers, as can easily be proved by the analysis of his unconscious, even though he himself is not in the least disturbed by it.
Carl Jung
Image
The symbols of the self arise in the depths of the body, and they express its materiality every bit as much as the perceiving consciousness. The symbol is thus a living body
Carl Jung
Image
Summoned or not, the god will come.
Carl Jung
Image
We do not know whether Hitler is going to found a new Islam. He is already on the way he is like Muhammad.
Carl Jung
Image
Deep down, below the surface of the average man's conscience, he hears a voice whispering, There is something not right, no matter how much his rightness is supported by public opinion or moral code.
Carl Jung
