Carl Jung

"When you're young, you have all the diseases of life ahead of you."

"Beware of unearned wisdom."

"Every man carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."

"The creative mind at play is the child."

"Creativity is born of anguish just as pearls are born of oysters."

"Conflicts between people often spring from the fact that they do not understand each other."

"The collective unconscious appears to consist of mythological motifs."

"Nobody can stand the absolute truth."

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that very existence is an act of rebellion."

"As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being."

"A healthy mind does not talk much. It acts."

"There is no growth without resistance."

"The future is not something we enter. The future is something we create."

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

"Consciousness is a condition that the universe is trying to achieve."

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

"The self is made whole not by 'cure' but by the acceptance of all that we are."

"In the end, the only events in my life worth telling are those when the imperishable within me found what is eternal."

"A person who is not firmly rooted in the knowledge of oneself cannot understand the knowledge of others."

"If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves."

"That which you do not bring to consciousness recurs in your life as fate."

"Thought cannot exist without words."

"Nature is not only all that is worth studying; it is all there is to study."

"The task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen, but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody sees."

"The unconscious is the guide of instinct."

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

"The greater the contrast, the greater the potential."

"Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you."

"There is no birth of consciousness without pain."

"The collective unconscious is the mighty spiritual heritage of mankind's evolution."
