Carl Jung
Image
It was most essential for me to have a normal life in the real world as a counterpoise to that strange inner world. My family and my profession remained the base to which I could return.
Carl Jung

If a union is to take place between opposites like spirit and matter, conscious and unconscious, bright and dark, and so on, it will happen in a third thing, which represents not a compromise but something new.
Carl Jung
Image
I readily admit that I have such a great respect for what happens in the human soul that I would be afraid of disturbing and distorting the silent operation of nature by clumsy interference.
Carl Jung
Image
One is forced to speak not of what is held in common between the cultures, but what is held in common between the myths, and that in its simplest archetypal forms.
Carl Jung
Image
Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking.
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
Sometimes a tree tells you more than can be read in books.
Carl Jung
