Psychiatrists classify a person as neurotic if he suffers from his problems in living, and a psychotic if he makes others suffer.
Carl Jung
Image
Neurosis is the natural by-product of pain avoidance.
Carl Jung
Image
Science is the art of creating suitable illusions which the fool believes or argues against, but the wise man enjoys for their beauty or their ingenuity, without being blind to the fact that they are human veils and curtains concealing the abysmal darkness of the unknowable

Nothing is possible without love ... For love puts one in a mood to risk everything.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung
Image

Carl Jung
Image
You always become the thing you fight the most.
Carl Jung
Image
If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.
Carl Jung
Image
Invited or not, God is present.
Carl Jung
Image
We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
Carl Jung
Image
That which compels us to create a substitute for ourselves is not the external lack of objects, but our incapacity to lovingly include a thing outside of ourselves
Carl Jung
Image
In the second half of life the necessity is imposed of recognizing no longer the validity of our former ideals but of their contraries. Of perceiving the error in what was previously our conviction, of sensing the untruth in what was our truth, and of weighing the degree of opposition, and even of hostility, in what we took to be love.

The wine of youth does not always clear with advancing years sometimes it grows turbid.
