Image
Where do we live symbolically? Nowhere except where we participate in the ritual of life.
Carl Jung
Image
To the critical intelligence, nothing is left of absolute reality.
Carl Jung
Image
Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.
Carl Jung
Image
Whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force
Carl Jung
Image
Summoned or not, the god will come.
Carl Jung
Image
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.
Carl Jung
Image
I have gradually learned to be cautious even in disbelief
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
Dawn is born at midnight.
Carl Jung
Image
What we lack is intensity of life.
Carl Jung
Image
Psychoanalysis cannot be considered a method of education if by education we mean the topiary art of clipping a tree into a beautiful artificial shape. But those who have a higher conception of education will prize most the method of cultivating a tree so that it fulfils to perfection its own natural conditions of growth.
Carl Jung
Image
The unconscious is not just evil by nature, it is also the source of the highest good: not only dark but also light, not only bestial, semihuman, and demonic but superhuman, spiritual, and, in the classical sense of the word, divine.
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
I live in my deepest hell and from there I cannot fall any further.
Carl Jung
Image
Only one who has risked the fight with the dragon and is not overcome by it wins the treasure hard to attain. He alone has a genuine claim to self-confidence, for he has faced the dark ground of his self and thereby has gained himself. This experience gives him faith and trust.
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
Every man carries within himself the eternal image of woman, not the image of this or that particular woman, but a definite feminine image. This image is fundamentally unconscious, a hereditary factor of primordial origin.
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.
Carl Jung
Image
Only a fool is interested in other people's guilt, since he cannot alter it. The wise man learns only from his own guilt. He will ask himself: Who am I that all this should happen to me? To find the answer to this fateful question he will look into his own heart.
Carl Jung
Image
The self is not only the centre but also the whole circumference which embraces both conscious and unconscious it is the centre of this totality, just as the ego is the centre of consciousness.
Carl Jung
