Naturally, every age thinks that all ages before it were prejudiced, and today we think this more than ever and are just as wrong as all previous ages that thought so. How often have we not seen the truth condemned! It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.
Carl Jung
Image
We carry our past with us, to wit, the primitive and inferior man with his desires and emotions, and it is only with an enormous effort that we can detach ourselves from this burden. If it comes to a neurosis, we invariably have to deal with a considerably intensified shadow.
Carl Jung
Image
He who looks without, dreams he who looks within, awakes.
Carl Jung
Image
And what shall we know of this life on earth after death? The dissolution of our timebound form in eternity brings no loss of meaning. Rather, does the little finger know itself a member of the hand.
Carl Jung
Image
When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate.
Carl Jung
Image
We do not feel as if we were producing the dreams, it is rather as if the dreams came to us. They are not subject to our control but obey their own laws.
Carl Jung
Image
Personality is the supreme realization of the innate idiosyncracy of a living being. It is an act of high courage flung in the face of life, the absolute affirmation of all that constitutes the individual, the most successful adaptation to the universal conditions of existence coupled with the greatest possible freedom for self-determination.
Carl Jung
Image
Our intellect has achieved the most tremendous things, but in the meantime our spiritual dwelling has fallen into disrepair.
Carl Jung
Image
My evenings are taken up very largely with astrology. I make horoscopic calculations in order to find a clue to the core of psychological truth.
Carl Jung
Image
The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection, in which are reflected the mythologems, i.e., the archetypes. In this vision astrology and alchemy, the two classical functionaries of the psychology of the collective unconscious, join hands.
Carl Jung
Image
It is indeed time for the clergyman and the psychotherapist to join forces.
Carl Jung
Image
My work as a psychoanalyst is to help patients recover their lost wholeness and to strengthen the psyche so it can resist future dismemberment.
Carl Jung
Image
We do not know whether Hitler is going to found a new Islam. He is already on the way he is like Mohammad. The emotion in Germany is Islamic warlike and Islamic. They are all drunk with wild god. That can be the historic future.
Carl Jung
Image
Special knowledge is a terrible disadvantage.
Carl Jung
Image
The cinema, like the detective story, makes it possible to experience without danger all the excitement, passion and desirousness which must be repressed in a humanitarian ordering of life.
Carl Jung
Image
How difficult it is to reach anything approaching a moderate and relatively calm point of view in the midst of one's emotions.
Carl Jung
Image
Every victory contains the germ of future defeat.
Carl Jung
Image
That which we do not confront in ourselves we will meet as fate.

I have gradually learned to be cautious even in disbelief

How else could it have occurred to man to divide the cosmos, on the analogy of day and night, summer and winter, into a bright day-world and a dark night-world peopled with fabulous monsters, unless he had the prototype of such a division in himself, in the polarity between the conscious and the invisible and unknowable unconscious?
