Carl Jung
Image
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

Creative power is mightier than its possessor.
Carl Jung
Image
One finds one's destiny on the path one takes to avoid it.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Image
The squaring of the circle is a stage on the way to the unconscious, a point of transition leading to a goal lying as yet unformulated beyond it. It is one of those paths to the centre.
Carl Jung
Image
Science is the tool of the Western mind and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands.

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
Image
One is forced to speak not of what is held in common between the cultures, but what is held in common between the myths, and that in its simplest archetypal forms.
Carl Jung
Image
Someone who is brave enough to withdraw all his projections, [is] an individual who is conscious of a pretty thick shadow.
Carl Jung
Image
One of the main functions of formalized religion is to protect people against a direct experience of God.
Carl Jung
Image
The person who looks outward dreams, the person who looks inward awakens.
Carl Jung
Image
Dreams are the guiding words of the Soul.
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
All true things must change and only that which changes remains true.
Carl Jung
Image
It is on the whole probably that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it.
Carl Jung
Image
The reason for evil in the world is that people are not able to tell their stories.
Carl Jung
Image
Man cannot stand a meaningless life.
Carl Jung
