Carl Jung quotes about
We are convinced that certain people have all the bad qualities we do not know in ourselves.
Nights through dreams tell the myths forgotten by the day.
We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts. Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective principles. As the man is, so will be his ultimate truth.
The more uncertain I have felt about myself, the more there has grown up in me a feeling of kinship with all things.
A criminal becomes a popular figure because he unburdens in no small degree the consciences of his fellow man, for now they know once more where evil is to be found.
The greater the tension, the greater is the potential.
Explore daily the will of God.
The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego-consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego-consciousness extends.
The images of the unconscious place a great responsibility upon a man. Failure to understand them, or a shirking of ethical responsibility, deprives him of his wholeness and imposes a painful fragmentariness on his life.
You can expect no influence if you are not susceptible to influence.
Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking.
Understanding does not cure evil, but it is a definite help, inasmuch as one can cope with a comprehensible darkness.
The great decisions of human life have as a rule far more to do with the instincts and other mysterious unconscious factors than with conscious will and well-meaning reasonableness. The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases. Each of us carries his own life-form- an indeterminable form which cannot be superseded by any other.
If I accept the fact that a god is absolute and beyond all human experiences, he leaves me cold. I do not affect him, nor does he affect me. But if I know that a god is a powerful impulse in my soul, at once I must concern myself with him, for then he can become important
