Carl Jung

The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between good and evil.

Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.

The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens into that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was any ego consciousness and will be soul far beyond what an ego consciousness could ever reach.

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

Without the experience of the opposites, there is no experience of totality.

The soul is healed by being with children.

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.

The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate.

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

The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means for the attainment of his ends.

We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect; we apprehend it just as much by feeling. Therefore, the judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth, and must, if it is to be complete, be complemented by an aesthetic or ethical judgment.

Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by what he says.

To ask the right question is already half the solution of a problem.

The greatest danger for man is that he loses his own soul.

The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purposes through him.

Life calls us to change. It is our response to this call that determines our growth.

The highest, most decisive experience is to be alone with one's own soul. You must be alone to find out what supports you; when you find that, you have found yourself.

Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.

The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you.

The human soul is not a thing, but a process.
