More quotes by Carl Jung
His retreat into himself is not a final renunciation of the world, but a search for quietude, where alone it is possible for him to make his contribution to the life of the community.
Carl Jung
So often among so-called primitives one comes across spiritual personalities who immediately inspire respect, as though they were the fully matured products of an undisturbed fate.
Carl Jung
Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.
Carl Jung
Intuition is perception via the unconscious that brings forth ideas, images, new possibilities and ways out of blocked situations.
Carl Jung
The capacity for inner dialogue is a touchstone for outer objectivity.
Carl Jung
Nothing is possible without love.
Carl Jung
Individualization does not shut one out from the world, but gathers the world to oneself.
Carl Jung

Carl Jung
One cannot free oneself by bowing to the yoke, but by breaking it.
Carl Jung
Neurosis is the natural by-product of pain avoidance.
Carl Jung
You are what you do, not what you say you'll do.
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
The collective unconscious contains the whole spiritual heritage of mankind's evolution born anew in the brain structure of every individual.
Carl Jung
Recognition of the reality of evil necessarily relativizes the good, and the evil likewise, converting both into halves of a paradoxical whole.
Carl Jung
About a third of my cases are suffering from no clinically definable neurosis, but from the senselessness and emptiness of their lives.
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
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Carl Jung
It is the function of the Church to oppose all original experience, because this can only be unorthodox.
Carl Jung
Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.
Carl Jung
Wo die Liebe herrscht, da gibt es keinen machtwillen, und wo die macht den vorrang hat, da fehlt die Liebe. Das eine ist der Schatten des andern. Translation: Where love rules, there is no will to power and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
Carl Jung
