Carl Jung

"The collective unconscious is activated through archetypal symbols in art and literature."

"Guilt arises when we deny our own nature and project it onto others."

"The goal of therapy is not happiness but authenticity and wholeness."

"The psyche demands that we acknowledge all of ourselves, not just the parts we approve of."

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed."

"You are what your deep driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny."

"The unconscious mind of man sees correctly even when conscious reason is blind and impotent."

"There is no coming to consciousness without pain."

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."

"The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown."

"A person who is possessed by an unconscious content always behaves in a strikingly stupid and annoying way."

"We cannot live only on what we are given. We must reflect on who we truly are."

"The collective unconscious contains the whole spiritual heritage of mankind's evolution, born anew in the brain structure of every individual."

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

"In each of us there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves."

"The word belief is a difficult thing for me. I don't believe. I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing, and then I don't need to believe it."

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

"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."

"The self is made manifest in the mandala, the symbol of wholeness and integration."

"Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is wanting."

"The only real difference between conscious and unconscious is the power to remember."

"If there is no going back, we must not go further; this is the most painful knowledge the human soul can acquire."

"Shame is a soul eating emotion and the greatest barrier to human connection and spiritual growth."

"We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we were born."

"The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul."

"Character is destiny, but that character develops through our choices and confrontations with the unconscious."

"Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism."
