More quotes by Carl Jung
Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.
Carl Jung
A [wo]man who is unconscious of [her/]himself acts in a blind, instinctive way and is in addition fooled by all the illusions that arise when he sees everything that he is not conscious of in himself coming to meet him from outside as projections upon his neighbour.
Carl Jung
On the level of the Son there is no answer to the question of good and evil there is only an incurable separation of the opposites. . . . It seems to me to be the Holy Spirit's task and charge to reconcile and reunite the opposites in the human individual through a special development of the human soul.
Carl Jung
Neurosis is the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.
Carl Jung
A collection of a hundred great brains makes one big fathead.
Carl Jung
In thirty years I have treated many patients. Among all my patients in the second half of life, every one of them fell ill because he had lost that which the living religions of every age had given their followers, and none of them was really healed who did not regain his religious outlook.
Carl Jung
Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.
Carl Jung
Doesn't the world bring forth thinking in human heads with the same necessity that it brings forth blossoms on the plant?
Carl Jung
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
The divine process of change manifests itself to our human understanding . . . as punishment, torment, death, and transfiguration.
Carl Jung
In sleep, fantasy takes the form of dreams. But in waking life, too, we continue to dream beneath the threshold of consciousness, especially when under the influence of repressed or other unconscious complexes.
Carl Jung
Synchronistic events provide an immediate religious experience as a direct encounter with the compensatory patterning of events in nature as a whole, both inwardly and outwardly.
Carl Jung
A criminal becomes a popular figure because he unburdens in no small degree the consciences of his fellow man, for now they know once more where evil is to be found.
Carl Jung
He who looks without, dreams he who looks within, awakes.
Carl Jung
It is also possible for the unconscious or an archetype to take complete possession of a man and to determine his fate down to the smallest detail
Carl Jung
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
You must go in quest of yourself, and you will find yourself again only in the simple and forgotten things.
Carl Jung
Unfortunately, there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and darker it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it
Carl Jung
The foundation of all mental illness is the unwillingness to experience legitimate suffering.
Carl Jung
The unconscious wants to flow into consciousness in order to reach the light, but at the same time it continually thwarts itself, because it would rather remain unconscious. That is to say, God wants to become man, but not quite.
Carl Jung
