Carl Jung

Whenever there is a reaching down into innermost experience, into the nucleus of personality, most people are overcome by fear and many run away. . . The risk of inner experience, the adventure of the spirit, is in any case alien to most human beings.  The possibility that such experience might have psychic reality is anathema to them.

The anima gives rise to illogical outbursts of temper; the animus produces irritating commonplaces.

The most dangerous things in the world are immense accumulations of human beings who are manipulated by only a few heads.

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

That I feed the hungry, forgive an insult, and love my enemy.... these are great virtues.
But what if I should discover that the poorest of the beggars and the most impudent of offenders are all within me, and that I stand in need of the alms of my own kindness; that I myself am the enemy who must be loved?  What then?

Who looks outside, dreams.  Who looks inside, awakens

The person who looks outward dreams, the person who looks inward awakens.

What you resist, persists.

In knowing ourselves to be unique, we possess the capacity for becoming conscious of the infinite. But only then!

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