Image
We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
Carl Jung
Image
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
Image
My interests drew me in different directions. On the one hand I was powerfully attracted by science, with its truths based on facts on the other hand I was fascinated by everything to do with comparative religion. [...] In science I missed the factor of meaning and in religion, that of empiricism.
Carl Jung
Image
Invited or not, God is present.
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
That which compels us to create a substitute for ourselves is not the external lack of objects, but our incapacity to lovingly include a thing outside of ourselves
Carl Jung
Image
The primary cause of unhappiness in the world today is... lack of faith.
Carl Jung
Image
It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.
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
Where wisdom reigns, there is no conflict between thinking and feeling.
Carl Jung
Image
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
Image
The judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth.
Carl Jung
Image
Called or not, God is always there.
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
Sensation tell us a thing is. Thinking tell us what it is this thing is. Feeling tells us what this thing is to us.
Carl Jung
Image
Sometimes you have to do something unforgivable just to be able to go on living.
Carl Jung
Image
Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.
Carl Jung
Image
The woman is increasingly aware that love alone can give her full stature, just as the man begins to discern that spirit alone can endow his life with its highest meaning. Fundamentally, therefore, both seek a psychic relation to the other, because love needs the spirit, and the spirit love, for their fulfillment.
Carl Jung
Image
From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.
Carl Jung
Image
I am the triple owner of the world, the finest Turkey, the Lorelei, Germania and Helvetia of exclusively sweet butter and Naples, and I must supply the whole world with macaroni.
Carl Jung
