Carl Jung

Carl Jung
It is astounding that man, the instigator, inventor and vehicle of all these developments, the originator of all judgements and decisions and the planner of the future, must make himself such a quantité negligeable.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.
Carl Jung
Individualization does not shut one out from the world, but gathers the world to oneself.
Carl Jung
The only thing we have to fear on this planet is man.
Carl Jung
As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung
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
It is also possible for the unconscious or an archetype to take complete possession of a man and to determine his fate down to the smallest detail
Carl Jung
In the history of the collective as in the history of the individual, everything depends on the development of consciousness.
Carl Jung
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
I deliberately and consciously give preference to a dramatic, mythological way of thinking and speaking, because this is not only more expressive but also more exact than an abstract scientific terminology, which is wont to toy with the notion that its theoretic formulations may one fine day be resolved into algebraic equations.
Carl Jung
The reason for evil in the world is that people are not able to tell their stories.
Carl Jung
A purely psychological explanation is ruled out... the discs show signs of intelligent guidance, by quasi-human pilots.
Carl Jung
How difficult it is to reach anything approaching a moderate and relatively calm point of view in the midst of one's emotions.
Carl Jung
