Carl Jung

"The dream is a little hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, opening into that cosmic secret that is the soul itself."

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

"A psychoanalyst who does not experience the crisis of meaning cannot be of much use to his patients."

"We cannot change anything unless we accept it; condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses."

"The man who is wronged is not necessarily he who has the right to do the wronging."

"We are not going in circles, we are going upwards. The path is a spiral."

"The wound is the place where the light enters you."

"If you imagine someone who is honest to themselves, they cannot live in a society absolutely in line with their beliefs."

"The ego is written in sand on the beach, while the self is the lighthouse."

"Art is the creative expression of what lies in the depths of the human soul."

"The complexes are imaginal entities that behave like independent beings in the human psyche."

"The healthy society is like a marriage where both partners understand the other's shadow."

"Psychological problems often originate in a disconnection from one's true self."

"In the psyche, every voice contains truth; the question is the proportion and balance of voices."
