Image
Our heart glows, and secret unrest gnaws at the root of our being. Dealing with the unconscious has become a question of life for us.
Carl Jung
Image
The more intelligent and cultured a man is, the more subtly he can humbug himself.
Carl Jung
Image
It is just man's turning away from instinct--his opposing himself to instinct--that creates consciousness. Instinct is nature andseeks to perpetuate nature while consciousness can only seek culture or its denial.
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
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
Image
Perfection belongs to the Gods the most we can hope for is excellence.
Carl Jung
Image
We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
Carl Jung
Image
The growth of the mind is the widening of the range of consciousness, and each step forward has been a most painful and laborious achievement.
Carl Jung
Image
The unconscious is the unwritten history of mankind from time unrecorded.
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
Healing proceeds from the depths to the heights.
Carl Jung
Image
The greatest tragedy of the family is the unlived lives of the parents.
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
One cannot free oneself by bowing to the yoke, but by breaking it.
Carl Jung
Image
I know that previously I would not have dared to express myself so explicitly about so uncertain a matter. I can take this risk because I am now in my eighth decade, and the changing opinions of men scarcely impress me any more the thoughts of the old masters are of greater value to me than the philosophical prejudices of the Western mind.
Carl Jung
Image
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort.
Carl Jung
Image
Intuition (is) perception via the unconscious
Carl Jung
Image
My interests drew me in different directions. On the one hand I was powerfully attracted by science, with its truths based on facts on the other hand I was fascinated by everything to do with comparative religion. [...] In science I missed the factor of meaning and in religion, that of empiricism.
Carl Jung
Image
The creative person is overpowered, captive of and driven by a demon... They become our legendary heroes.

What we do not make conscious emerges later as fate.
