"Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people."

"There is no coming to consciousness without pain."

"The unconscious is not just evil by nature, it is also the source of the highest good: not only bestial, semihuman, and demonic but superhuman, spiritual, and, in the classical sense of the word, divine."

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes."

"The word 'belief' is a difficult thing for me. I don't believe. I must have knowledge."

"Dreams are the guiding illustrations of the soul's self-expression."

"Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you."

"No matter how deeply dyed in the wool an idealist is, he is always capable of being an opportunist when occasion offers."

"The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable."

"In each of us there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams."

"The psyche is not of today; its roots reach back into remote ages."

"Emotion is the only thing in which we are truly alive."

"Psychology and religion need not be antagonists; they can be partners."

"Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is an error to be cherished for the possibilities that it contains."

"Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes."

"Salutary neglect is the best form of parenting."

"The world will ask you who you are, and if you do not know, the world will tell you."

"There can be no consciousness without discrimination of opposites."

"The only real limitation is death."
