More quotes by Carl Jung
No matter what the world thinks about religious experience, the one who has it possesses a great treasure, a thing that has become for him a source of life, meaning, and beauty, and that has given a new splendor to the world and to mankind.
Carl Jung
Wherever an inferiority complex exists, there is a good reason for it.
Carl Jung
People cannot stand too much Reality.
Carl Jung
Neurosis is an inner cleavage-the state of being at war with oneself.
Carl Jung
All ages before ours believed in gods in some form or other. Only an unparalleled impoverishment in symbolism could enable us to rediscover the gods as psychic factors, which is to say, as archetypes of the unconscious. No doubt this discovery is hardly credible as yet.
Carl Jung
Even a lie is a psychic fact.
Carl Jung
Twelve experts gathered in one room equal one big idiot.
Carl Jung
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
Aging people should know that their lives are not mounting and unfolding but that an inexorable inner process forces the contraction of life. For a young person it is almost a sin and certainly a danger to be too much occupied with himself but for the aging person it is a duty and a necessity to give serious attention to himself.
Carl Jung
It is not for us . . . to send out missionaries to foreign peoples it is our task to build up our own Western culture.
Carl Jung
Every human life contains a potential, if that potential is not fulfilled, then that life was wasted.
Carl Jung
Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.
Carl Jung
An archetypal content expresses itself, first and foremost, in metaphors.
Carl Jung
Life is a luminous pause between two mysteries that are yet one.
Carl Jung
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
Dreams are symbolic in order that they cannot be understood in order that the wish, which is the source of the dream, may remain unknown.
Carl Jung
Faith, hope, love, and insight are the highest achievements of human effort. They are found-given-by experience.
Carl Jung
Man's unconscious... contains all the patterns of life and behaviour inherited from his ancestors, so that every human child, prior to consciousness, is possessed of a potential system of adapted psychic functioning.
Carl Jung
So the lion is the law-breaker. Just as to the primitive man the lion is the lawbreaker, the great nuisance, dangerous to human beings and to animals, that breaks into the Kraal at night and fetches the bull out of the herd: he is the destructive instinct.
Carl Jung
The gods have become our diseases.
