The underlying, primary psychic reality is so inconceivably complex that it can be grasped only at the farthest reach of intuition, and then but very dimly. That is why it needs symbols.
Carl Jung

More quotes by Carl Jung
Personality is the supreme realization of the innate idiosyncracy of a living being. It is an act of high courage flung in the face of life, the absolute affirmation of all that constitutes the individual, the most successful adaptation to the universal conditions of existence coupled with the greatest possible freedom for self-determination.
Carl Jung
Nature is not matter only. She is also a spirit
Carl Jung
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
The distinction between mind and body is an artificial dichotomy, a discrimination which is unquestionably based far more on the peculiarity of intellectual understanding than on the nature of things.
Carl Jung
Everyone can afford to give away a smile.
Carl Jung
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
A [wo]man who is unconscious of [her/]himself acts in a blind, instinctive way and is in addition fooled by all the illusions that arise when he sees everything that he is not conscious of in himself coming to meet him from outside as projections upon his neighbour.
Carl Jung
Every living soul has different talents, different desires, different faculties. Be yourself, for even if you deceive the entire world, you will be ten thousand times worse than nothing.
Carl Jung
I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud.
Carl Jung
Ultimate truth, if there be such a thing, demands the concert of many voices.
Carl Jung
Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also.
Carl Jung
The psychic depths are nature, and nature is creative life.
Carl Jung
Only a few individuals succeed in throwing off mythology in a time of a certain intellectual supremacy--the mass never frees itself.
Carl Jung
You are what you do, not what you say you'll do.
Carl Jung
Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?
Carl Jung
The time is a critical one, for it marks the beginning of the second half of life, when a metanoia, a mental transformation, not infrequently occurs. (on being 36 yrs old)
Carl Jung
Wo die Liebe herrscht, da gibt es keinen machtwillen, und wo die macht den vorrang hat, da fehlt die Liebe. Das eine ist der Schatten des andern. Translation: Where love rules, there is no will to power and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
Carl Jung
Our intellect has achieved the most tremendous things, but in the meantime our spiritual dwelling has fallen into disrepair.
Carl Jung
If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.
Carl Jung
My mandalas were cryptograms concerning the state of the self which was presented to me anew each day...I guarded them like precious pearls....It became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the center. It is the exponent of all paths. It is the path to the center, to individuation.
Carl Jung
