Carl Jung quotes about
Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.
There is no coming to consciousness without pain.
I could not say I believe. I know! I have had the experience of being gripped by something that is stronger than myself, something that people call God.
People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.
The creative mind plays with the object it loves.
We are living in what the Greeks called the kairos- the right moment- for a 'metamorphosis of the gods', of the fundamental principles and symbols. This peculiarity of our time, which is certainly not of our conscious choosing, is the expression of the unconscious man within us who is changing.
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
Shadow work is the path of the heart warrior.
I've realized that somebody who's tired and needs a rest, and goes on working all the same is a fool.
Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one’s being, but by integration of the contraries.
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.
...The unconscious has no time. There is no trouble about time in the unconscious. Part of our psyche is not in time and not in space. They are only an illusion, time and space, and so in a certain part of our psyche time does not exist at all.
Freedom stretches only as far as the limits of our consciousness
Nature seemed to me full of wonders, and I wanted to steep myself in them. Every stone, every plant, every single thing seemed alive and indescribably marvelous. I immersed myself in nature, crawled, as it were, into the very essence of nature and away from the whole human world.
