Carl Jung

"The collective unconscious contains the whole spiritual heritage of mankind's evolution, reborn in each individual's psyche."

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

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

"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 pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong."

"In each of us there is another whom we do not know."

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

"Psychology and religion, though seemingly in opposition, have common ground in the human soul."

"Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious mind."

"The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble."

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

"The self is not only evil by nature, it is also the only available exponent of life's wisdom."

"A person who is possessed by an unconscious shadow figure is always standing in his own light."

"Creative individuals are remarkably at home with chaos and contradiction."

"The unconscious is not just evil by nature, it is also the source of the highest good."

"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity."

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

"A man who has not passed through the experience of the shadow does not really know himself."

"Until we have met the monsters in ourselves, we keep trying to slay them in the world."

"If there is no war in the world, there is war within oneself."

"The only way out is through; regression is the only alternative."

"Emotion is the only vehicle of value; nothing is valued unless it is felt."

"We are not going in circles, we are going upwards. The spiral only looks like a circle from below."

"The psyche is a self-regulating system that maintains equilibrium as the body does."

"What you resist not only persists but will grow in size."

"There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands."

"The descent into hell is easy, but the return is the real test."

"One cannot live without meaning; life becomes meaningless without purpose."

"The psyche cannot be made to fit into pigeonholes or formulas; it transcends them."
