Carl Jung

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”

“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

“The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.”

“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”

“Shame is a soul-eating emotion.”

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”

“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.”

“Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.”

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”

“The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.”

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”

“We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.”

“Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.”

“A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.”

“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.”

“There is no coming to consciousness without pain.”

“The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable.”

“The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.”
