Quote

We all must do what Christ did. We must make our experiment. We must make mistakes. We must live out our own version of life. And there will be error. If you avoid error you do not live.

Image
The puzzling thing is that there is really a curious coincidence between astrological and psychological facts, so that one can isolate time from the characteristics of an individual, and also, one can deduce characteristics from a certain time.
Carl Jung
Image
Every individual needs revolution, inner division, overthrow of the existing order, and renewal, but not by forcing them upon his neighbors under the hypocritical cloak of Christian love or the sense of social responsibility or any of the other beautiful euphemisms for unconscious urges to personal power.
Carl Jung
Image
Nothing is possible without love ... For love puts one in a mood to risk everything.
Carl Jung
Image
Every man carries within himself the eternal image of woman, not the image of this or that particular woman, but a definite feminine image. This image is fundamentally unconscious, a hereditary factor of primordial origin.
Carl Jung
Image
How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also If I am to be whole
Carl Jung
Image
I deliberately and consciously give preference to a dramatic, mythological way of thinking and speaking, because this is not only more expressive but also more exact than an abstract scientific terminology, which is wont to toy with the notion that its theoretic formulations may one fine day be resolved into algebraic equations.
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
In such doubtful matters, where you have to work as a pioneer, you must be able to put some trust in your intuition and follow your feeling even at the risk of going wrong.
Carl Jung
Image
Man cannot stand a meaningless life.
Carl Jung
Image
We discover ourselves through others.
Carl Jung
Image
Life is teleology par excellence it is the intrinsic striving towards a goal, and the living organism is a system of directed aims which seek to fulfill themselves.
Carl Jung
Image
Dream analysis stands or falls with [the hypothesis of the unconscious]. Without it the dream appears to be merely a freak of nature, a meaningless conglomerate of memory-fragments left over from the happenings of the day.
Carl Jung
Image
Dreams are symbolic in order that they cannot be understood in order that the wish, which is the source of the dream, may remain unknown.
Carl Jung
Image
Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you.
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
Every Mother contains her daughter in herself and every daughter her mother and every mother extends backwards into her mother and forwards into her daughter.
Carl Jung
Image
One might expect, perhaps, that a man full of genius could pasture in the greatness of his own thoughts, and renounce the cheap approbation of the crowd which he despises yet he succumbs to the more powerful impulse of the herd instinct. His searching and his finding, his call, belong to the herd.
Carl Jung
Image
When an individual does not become conscious of their inner contradictions, the world acts out the conflict and is torn in opposite halves.
Carl Jung
Image
The self is not only the centre but also the whole circumference which embraces both conscious and unconscious it is the centre of this totality, just as the ego is the centre of consciousness.
Carl Jung
Image
Mind and matter are two different aspects of one and the same thing.
Carl Jung
