Carl Jung
Image
Nature is not matter only. She is also a spirit
Carl Jung
Image

Carl Jung
Image
The foundation of all mental illness is the unwillingness to experience legitimate suffering.
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

You always become the thing you fight the most.
Carl Jung
