Carl Jung quotes about
Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument...
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness's of other people. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Without freedom there can be no morality.
Fidelity to the law of your own being is an act of high courage flung in the face of life.
There is no birth of consciousness without pain.
Liverpool is the pool of life, it makes to live.
The greatest tragedy of the family is the unlived lives of the parents.
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.
Life has always seemed to me like a plant that lives on its rhizome. Its true life is invisible, hidden in the rhizome. The part that appears above ground lasts only a single summer. Then it withers away—an ephemeral apparition. When we think of the unending growth and decay of life and civilizations, we cannot escape the impression of absolute nullity. Yet I have never lost a sense of something that lives and endures underneath the eternal flux. What we see is the blossom, which passes. The rhizome remains.
It is a moral achievement on the part of the doctor who ought not to let himself be repelled by sickness and corruption.
All my writings may be considered tasks imposed from within, their source was a fateful compulsion. What I wrote were things that assailed me from within myself. I permitted the spirit that moved me to speak out.
One cannot live without inconsistency.
To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real.
Neurosis is the suffering of a soul which has not discovered its meaning.
