Carl Gustav Jung Quotes

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed""Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble""The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong""As a plant produces its flower, so the psyche creates its symbols""Everything that happens causes something else to happen""The theory of complexes forms the empirical foundation of the concept of the unconscious.""We meet ourselves time and again in a thousand disguises on the path of life.""The individual who perceives oppressive emotional states in himself and is able to verbalize them in a style congruent with the semantic impact of archetypal-imagery shifts the balance of integrative power within himself from the unconscious to the ego.""The greatest and most important problems of life are fundamentally unsolvable. They can never be solved but only outgrown.""A dream that is not understood remains a mere occurrence; understood it becomes a living experience.""The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.""Every human life contains a potential, if that potential is not fulfilled, then that life was wasted.""The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are""In each of us there is another whom we do not know""There is no birth of consciousness without pain""Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge""What you resist not only persists, but will grow in size""Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you""Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one’s being but by integration of the contraries""Loneliness does not come from having no people around but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible"
