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
But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning — for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.
Carl Jung
Image
Enlightenment consists not merely in the seeing of luminous shapes and visions, but in making the darkness visible. The latter procedure is more difficult and therefore, unpopular.
Carl Jung
Image
