Carl Jung quotes about
But the meaning of life is not . . . explained by one's business life, nor is the deep desire of the human heart answered by a bank account.
Psychological type is nothing static - it changes in the course of life.
The woman is increasingly aware that love alone can give her full stature, just as the man begins to discern that spirit alone can endow his life with its highest meaning. Fundamentally, therefore, both seek a psychic relation to the other, because love needs the spirit, and the spirit love, for their fulfillment.
Dream analysis stands or falls with [the hypothesis of the unconscious]. Without it the dream appears to be merely a freak of nature, a meaningless conglomerate of memory-fragments left over from the happenings of the day.
Dreaming is a philogenetically older mode of thought.
Words are animals, alive with a will of their own
One cannot free oneself by bowing to the yoke, but by breaking it.
Where wisdom reigns, there is no conflict between thinking and feeling.
All art intuitively apprehends coming changes in the collective unconsciousness.
If only simplicity were not the most difficult of all things. It consists of watching objectively the development of any fragment of fantasy.
Learn your techniques well and be prepared to let them go when you touch the human soul.
The creative process is a living thing, implanted, as it were in the souls of men.
In sleep, fantasy takes the form of dreams. But in waking life, too, we continue to dream beneath the threshold of consciousness, especially when under the influence of repressed or other unconscious complexes.
I don't aspire to be a good man. I aspire to be a whole man.
