Carl Jung

"The self is the totality of conscious and unconscious."

"What we fear in the world, we first fear within ourselves."

"The journey of individuation is the journey toward authenticity."

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

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

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

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

"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."

"The self is made manifest in the mandala, which represents the wholeness of the psyche."

"Synchronicity reveals the meaningful connections between the subjective and objective world."

"Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious, where the truth of our being is revealed."

"The word 'belief' is a difficult thing for me. I don't believe. I must have knowledge, so far as I'm able to attain it."

"Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering."

"The psyche is not of today; its roots reach back into remote times and into an obscure, bygone world."

"Shame is a soul eating emotion, and it derives from the belief that there is something fundamentally wrong with you as a person."

"The greater the conscious mind's ignorance of itself, the more desperately, the more compulsively, the shadow operates."

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

"Creative work is play, and play is work. The creative person must unify these opposites."

"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."

"To be modern is to know that anything that was said before can be said better, yet what is essential remains unchanged."

"A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them."

"The collective unconscious appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images."

"The fear of being ordinary is the fear of being powerless, and powerlessness is frightening."

"Children are educated by what the grown-up is, not by his talk."

"The opposites and their conflict can never be robbed of their reality and significance by any moral decree or philosophical argument."

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

"The self is an archetype which is superior to the ego and, in fact, takes precedence over it in the course of development."

"No one can live without joy; therefore those who fear it and deny it are fabricating a destiny of fear."

"Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity."
