Carl Jung

Relationships must be fostered as far as possible and maintained, and thus a morbid transference can be avoided.

Whatever piece of unconscious we take and work through brings light to humanity.

Grounded in the natural philosophy of the Middle Ages, alchemy formed a bridge: on the one hand into the past, to Gnosticism, and on the other into the future, to the modern psychology of the unconscious.

If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.

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

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

The word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.

All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.

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

Man needs difficulties they are necessary for health.

The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.

Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.

We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.

Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not.

Just as we might take Darwin as an example of the normal extraverted thinking type, the normal introverted thinking type could be represented by Kant. The one speaks with facts, the other relies on the subjective factor. Darwin ranges over the wide field of objective reality, Kant restricts himself to a critique of knowledge.

Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also.

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.
