Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Image

As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know.
Carl Jung
Image
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
Carl Jung
Image
Deeply listening to music opens up new avenues of research I'd never even dreamed of. I feel from now on music should be an essential part of every analysis.
Carl Jung
Image
Once upon a time men were possessed by devils. Now they are not less obsessed by ideas
Carl Jung
Image
Creative power is mightier than its possessor.
Carl Jung
Image
The divine process of change manifests itself to our human understanding . . . as punishment, torment, death, and transfiguration.
Carl Jung
Image
It is not for us . . . to send out missionaries to foreign peoples it is our task to build up our own Western culture.
Carl Jung
Image
The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life.
Carl Jung
Image
I readily admit that I have such a great respect for what happens in the human soul that I would be afraid of disturbing and distorting the silent operation of nature by clumsy interference.
Carl Jung
