More quotes by Carl Jung
His retreat into himself is not a final renunciation of the world, but a search for quietude, where alone it is possible for him to make his contribution to the life of the community.
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
If you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem.
Carl Jung
The psychiatrist knows only too well how each of us becomes the helpless but not pitiable victim of his own sentiments. Sentimentality is the superstructure erected upon brutality.
Carl Jung
The Wrong we have Done, Thought, or Intended Will wreak its Vengeance on Our SOULS.
Carl Jung
Everyone you meet knows something you don't know but need to know. Learn from them.
Carl Jung
Whether you call the principle of existence God, matter, energy, or anything else you like, you have created nothing you have merely changed a symbol. Eastern and Western Thinking, 1938
Carl Jung
Faith, hope, love, and insight are the highest achievements of human effort. They are found-given-by experience.
Carl Jung
Dreams are the guiding words of the Soul.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Astrology is assured of recognition from psychology, without further restrictions, because astrology represents the summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.
Carl Jung
From the living fountain of instinct flows everything that is creative hence the unconscious is not merely conditioned by history, but is the very source of the creative impulse. It is like nature herself - prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation.
Carl Jung
You always become the thing you fight the most.
Carl Jung
The darkness which clings to every personality is the door into the unconscious and the gateway of dreams, from which those two twilight figures, the shadow and the anima, step into our nightly visions or, remaining invisible, take possession of our ego-consciousness.
Carl Jung
For, in order to turn the individual into a function of the State, his dependence on anything beside the State must be taken from him.
Carl Jung
You can exert no influence if you are not susceptible to influence.
Carl Jung
The symbols of the self arise in the depths of the body, and they express its materiality every bit as much as the perceiving consciousness. The symbol is thus a living body
Carl Jung
Enchantment is the oldest form of medicine.
Carl Jung
Simple things are always the most difficult.
Carl Jung
Our western mind lacking all culture in this respect, has never yet devised a concept, not even a name for the union of opposites through the middle path, that most fundamental item of inward experience which could respectably be set against the Chinese concept of Tao.
Carl Jung
