More quotes by Carl Jung

Image
The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.
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
We have forgotten the age-old fact that God speaks chiefly through dreams and visions.
Carl Jung
Image
By a symbol I do not mean an allegory or a sign, but an image that describes in the best possible way the dimly discerned nature of the spirit. A symbol does not define or explain it points beyond itself to a meaning that is darkly divined yet still beyond our grasp, and cannot be adequately expressed in the familiar words of our language.
Carl Jung
Image
Modern man may assert that he can dispense with them, and he may bolster his opinion by insisting that there is no scientific evidence of their truth. But since we are dealing with invisible and unknowable things (for God is beyond human understanding, and there is no mean of proving immortality), why should we bother with evidence?
Carl Jung
Image
I have gradually learned to be cautious even in disbelief
Carl Jung
Image
Our souls as well as our bodies are composed of individual elements which were all already present in the ranks of our ancestors. The newness in the individual psyche is an endlessly varied recombination of age-old components.
Carl Jung
Image
The teacher pretended that algebra was a perfectly natural affair, to be taken for granted, whereas I didn't even know what numbers were. Mathematics classes became sheer terror and torture to me. I was so intimidated by my incomprehension that I did not dare to ask any questions.
Carl Jung
Image
The educated man tries to repress the inferior one in himself, without realizing that by this he forces the latter to become revolutionary.
Carl Jung
Image
To me dreams are part of nature, which harbors no intention to deceive but expresses something as best it can.
Carl Jung
Image
The greatest sin is to be unconscious.
Carl Jung
Image
The more uncertain I have felt about myself, the more there has grown up in me a feeling of kinship with all things.
Carl Jung
Image
If we feel our way into the human secrets of the sick person, the madness also reveals its system, and we recognize in the mental illness merely an exceptional reaction to emotional problems which are not strange to us. --The Content of the Psychoses
Carl Jung
Image
It was most essential for me to have a normal life in the real world as a counterpoise to that strange inner world. My family and my profession remained the base to which I could return.
Carl Jung
Image
A 'scream' is always just that - a noise and not music.
Carl Jung
Image
Just imagine what would happen if practicing physicians, the ones who have come into contact directly with suffering humanity, had some acquaintance with Eastern systems of healing. The Spirit of the East surges through every pore as a balm for all afflictions.
Carl Jung
Image
We discover ourselves through others.
Carl Jung
Image
Synchronistic events provide an immediate religious experience as a direct encounter with the compensatory patterning of events in nature as a whole, both inwardly and outwardly.
Carl Jung
Image
Shame is a soul eating emotion.
Carl Jung
Image
Fortunately, in her kindness and patience, Nature has never put the fatal question as to the meaning of their lives into the mouths of most people. And where no one asks, no one needs to answer.
Carl Jung
