Carl Jung quotes about
Real liberation comes not from glossing over or repressing painful states of feeling, but only from experiencing them to the full.
Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see.
The difference between a good life and a bad life is how well you walk through the fire
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
If our religion is based on salvation, our chief emotions will be fear and trembling. If our religion is based on wonder, our chief emotion will be gratitude.
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
Dreams are the guiding words of the soul. Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration?
Man is not a machine that can be remodelled for quite other purposes as occasion demands, in the hope that it will go on functioning as regularly as before but in a quite different way. He carries his whole history with him; in his very structure is written the history of mankind.
For a young person, it is almost a sin, or at least a danger, to be too preoccupied with himself; but for the ageing person, it is a duty and a necessity to devote serious attention to himself.
Trust that which gives you meaning and accept it as your guide
The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
Everyone is in love with his own ideas
You must go in quest of yourself, and you will find yourself again only in the simple and forgotten things.
