Image
Language, in its origin and essence, is simply a system of signs or symbols that denote real occurrences or their echo in the human soul.
Carl Jung
Image
I am no longer alone with myself, and I can only artificially recall the scary and beautiful feeling of solitude. This is the shadow side of the fortune of love.
Carl Jung
Image
In sleep, fantasy takes the form of dreams. But in waking life, too, we continue to dream beneath the threshold of consciousness, especially when under the influence of repressed or other unconscious complexes.
Carl Jung
Image
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
Carl Jung
Image
Someone who is brave enough to withdraw all his projections, [is] an individual who is conscious of a pretty thick shadow.
Carl Jung
Image
Everyone knows nowadays that people 'have complexes'. What is not so well known, though far more important theoretically, is that complexes can have us.
Carl Jung
Image

Where do we live symbolically? Nowhere except where we participate in the ritual of life.
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
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
What we do not make conscious emerges later as fate.
Carl Jung
Image
The world hangs on a thin thread, and that is the psyche of man.
Carl Jung

Life is a luminous pause between two mysteries that are yet one.
Carl Jung
Image
There was need of a phantastic, indestructible optimism, and one far removed from all sense of reality, in order, for example, to discover in the shameful death of Christ really the highest salvation and the redemption of the world.
Carl Jung
Image
Our western mind lacking all culture in this respect, has never yet devised a concept, not even a name for the union of opposites through the middle path, that most fundamental item of inward experience which could respectably be set against the Chinese concept of Tao.
Carl Jung
Image
He who looks without, dreams he who looks within, awakes.
Carl Jung
Image
A purely psychological explanation is ruled out... the discs show signs of intelligent guidance, by quasi-human pilots.
Carl Jung
Image
Creative power is mightier than its possessor.
Carl Jung
Image
...it seemed to me I was living in an insane asylum of my own making. I wnt about with all these fantastic figures: centaurs, nymphs, satyrs, gods and goddesses, as though they were patients and I was analyzing them. I read a Greek or Negro myth as if a lunatic were telling me his anamnesis.
Carl Jung
Image
Our souls as well as our bodies are composed of individual elements which were all already present in the ranks of our ancestors. The newness in the individual psyche is an endlessly varied recombination of age-old components.
Carl Jung
