Carl Jung quotes about
What if I should discover that the poorest of the beggars and the most impudent of offenders are all within me; and that I stand in need of the alms of my own kindness, that I, myself, am the enemy who must be loved -- what then?
We don't really heal anything; we simply let it go.
Every individual needs revolution, inner division, overthrow of the existing order, and renewal, but not by forcing them upon his neighbors under the hypocritical cloak of Christian love or the sense of social responsibility or any of the other beautiful euphemisms for unconscious urges to personal power.
To become acquainted with oneself is a terrible shock.
The best political, social, and spiritual work we can do is to withdraw the projection of our shadow onto others.
We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become.
The dream arises from a part of the mind unknown to us, but none the less important, and is concerned with the desires for the approaching day.
VOCATUS ATQUE NON VOCATUS DEUS ADERIT.
It is a fact that cannot be denied: the wickedness of others becomes our own wickedness because it kindles something evil in our own hearts.
What happens after death is so unspeakably glorious that our imagination and our feelings do not suffice to form even an approximate conception of it. The dissolution of our time-bound form in eternity brings no loss of meaning.
The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul...
Sometimes a tree tells you more than can be read in books.
The unconscious is not a demoniacal monster, but a natural entity which, as far as moral sense, aesthetic taste, and intellectual judgment go, is completely neutral.It only becomes dangerous when our conscious attitude to it is hopelessly wrong. To the degree that we repress it, its danger increases.
You are what you do, not what you say you'll do.
