Carl Jung

The true leader is always led.

The less he understands of what he is doing, the more easily he can be led astray.

The dream is a theatre in which the dreamer is himself the scene, the player, the prompter, the producer, the author, the public, and the critic.

The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of the parents.

Only the paradox comes anywhere near comprehending the fullness of life.

It is often in the darkest hour that the light of truth appears.

The experience of the numinous is the real criterion of truth.

Man's task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious.

The individuation process is the conscious realization of one's unique psychological reality.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort.

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

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

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

The heaviest burden for a child is the unlived lives of its parents.

Loneliness does not come from having no people around, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.

The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.

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

I have always been impressed by the fact that there are a surprising number of individuals who never use their minds if they can avoid it, and an equal number who do use their minds, but in an amazingly stupid way.

Your perception will become clear only when you see your feelings.
