More quotes by Carl Jung

Image
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them. They then dwell in the house next door, and at any moment a flame may dart out and set fire to his own house. 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
Thanks to the acuteness of his mind, he saw through the poverty of philosophical and Gnostic knowledge, and contemptuously rejected it.
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
If there is a fear of falling, the only safety consists in deliberately jumping.
Carl Jung
Image
In thirty years I have treated many patients. Among all my patients in the second half of life, every one of them fell ill because he had lost that which the living religions of every age had given their followers, and none of them was really healed who did not regain his religious outlook.
Carl Jung
Image
I cannot prove to you that God exists, but my work has proved empirically that the pattern of God exists in every man and that this pattern in the individual has at its disposal the greatest transforming energies of which life is capable. Find this pattern in your own individual self and life is transformed.
Carl Jung
Image
The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection, in which are reflected the mythologems, i.e., the archetypes. In this vision astrology and alchemy, the two classical functionaries of the psychology of the collective unconscious, join hands.
Carl Jung
Image
The unsatisfied yearning of the artist reaches back to the primordial image in the unconscious which is best fitted to compensate the inadequacy and one-sidedness of the present.
Carl Jung
Image
I could well imagine that I might have lived in former centuries and there encountered questions I was not yet able to answer that I had been born again because I had not fulfilled the task given to me.
Carl Jung
Image
It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.
Carl Jung
Image
The squaring of the circle is a stage on the way to the unconscious, a point of transition leading to a goal lying as yet unformulated beyond it. It is one of those paths to the centre.
Carl Jung
Image
The Christian missionary may preach the gospel to the poor naked heathen, but the spiritual heathen who populate Europe have as yet heard nothing of Christianity.
Carl Jung
Image
The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.
Carl Jung
Image
Only the wounded physician heals.
Carl Jung
Image
That which compels us to create a substitute for ourselves is not the external lack of objects, but our incapacity to lovingly include a thing outside of ourselves
Carl Jung
Image
The totality of the psyche can never be grasped by the intellect alone.
Carl Jung
Image
The greatest potential for growth and self-realisation exists in the second half of life.
Carl Jung
Image
Wisdom accepts that all things have two sides
Carl Jung
Image
The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.
Carl Jung
Image
Science has destroyed even the refuge of the inner life. What was once a sheltering haven has become a place of terror
