Carl Jung
Image
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of awareness of darkness... as the contrast between what we have and how it could be worse is vital to appreciate anything, including our life, and so be happy and grateful
Carl Jung
Image
A particularly beautiful woman is a source of terror. As a rule, a beautiful woman is a terrible disappointment.
Carl Jung
Image
Learn your techniques well and be prepared to let them go when you touch the human soul.
Carl Jung
Image
Knowledge does not enrich us it removes us more and more from the mythic world in which we were once at home by right of birth.
Carl Jung
Image
To be normal is the ultimate aim of the unsuccessful.
Carl Jung
Image
All true things must change and only that which changes remains true.
