More quotes by Carl Jung

Image
Just as man as a social being, cannot in the long run exist without a tie to the community, so the individual will never find the real justification for his existence, and his own spiritual and moral autonomy, anywhere except in an extramundane principle capable of relativizing the overpowering influence of external factors.
Carl Jung
Image
The difference between a good life and a bad life is how well you walk through the fire
Carl Jung
Image
We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts. Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective principles. As the man is, so will be his ultimate truth.
Carl Jung
Image
A collection of a hundred great brains makes one big fathead.
Carl Jung
Image
When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate.
Carl Jung
Image
Yoga in Mayfair or Fifth Avenue, or in any other place which is on the telephone, is a spiritual fake.
Carl Jung
Image
Learn your theories as well as you can, but put them aside when you touch the miracle of the living soul
Carl Jung
Image
The whole nature of man presupposes woman, both physically and spiritually. His system is tuned into woman from the start, just as it is prepared for a quite definite world where there is water, light, air, salt, carbohydrates etc.
Carl Jung
Image
We discover ourselves through others.
Carl Jung
Image
The wine of youth does not always clear with advancing years sometimes it grows turbid.
Carl Jung
Image
I am looking forward enormously to getting back to the sea again, where the overstimulated psyche can recover in the presence of that infinite peace and spaciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
A sign is always less than the thing it points to, and a symbol is always more than we can understand at first sight. Therefore we stop at the sign but go on to the goal it indicates but we remain with the symbol because it promises more than it reveals.
Carl Jung
Image
It is proverbial, of course, that man never learns from history, and, as a rule, in respect to a problem of the present, it can teach us simply nothing. The new must be made through untrodden regions, without suppositions, and often, unfortunately, without piety also.
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
A book of mine is always a matter of fate. There is something unpredictable about the process of writing, and I cannot prescribe for myself any predetermined course.
Carl Jung
Image
We are so accustomed to the apparently rational nature of our world that we can scarcely imagine anything happening that cannot be explained by common sense. The primitive man confronted by a shock of this kind would not doubt his sanity he would think of fetishes, spirits or gods
Carl Jung
Image
The principle aim of psychotherapy is not to transport one to an impossible state of happiness, but to help (the client) acquire steadfastness and patience in the face of suffering.
Carl Jung
Image
It is indeed time for the clergyman and the psychotherapist to join forces.
Carl Jung
Image
Where do we live symbolically? Nowhere except where we participate in the ritual of life.
Carl Jung
Image
All fanaticism is repressed doubt.
