Carl Gustav Jung Quotes

"Religion is a defense against the experience of God""There is no coming to consciousness without pain""The greatest tragedy of the family is the unlived lives of the parents""The healthy man does not torture others generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers""Man needs difficulties they are necessary for health""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""Where wisdom reigns there is no conflict between thinking and feeling""The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity the creative mind plays with the objects it loves""As far as we can discern the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being""The shoe that fits one person pinches another there is no recipe for living that suits all cases""In all chaos there is a cosmos in all disorder a secret order""The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong""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.""Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol, morphine or idealism""Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate""I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become""The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely""We cannot change anything unless we accept it""The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are"
