Quotes by Carl Jung

  • The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
  • 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.
  • Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
  • Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
  • As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
  • Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent.
  • Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.
  • We cannot change anything unless 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.
