A "scream" is always just that - a noise and not music.
Carl Jung

A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.
Carl Jung

A particularly beautiful woman is a source of terror. As a rule, a beautiful woman is a terrible disappointment.
Carl Jung

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

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
Carl Jung

Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.
Carl Jung

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Carl Jung

Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.
Carl Jung

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

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

Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.
Carl Jung

I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life - that is to say, over 35 - there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.
Carl Jung

If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.
Carl Jung

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.
Carl Jung

If there is anything 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.
Carl Jung

In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.
Carl Jung

In my case Pilgrim's Progress consisted in my having to climb down a thousand ladders until I could reach out my hand to the little clod of earth that I am.
Carl Jung

It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves.
Carl Jung

It is a fact that cannot be denied: the wickedness of others becomes our own wickedness because it kindles something evil in our own hearts.
Carl Jung

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.
Carl Jung

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

Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.
Carl Jung

Man's task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious.
Carl Jung

Masses are always breeding grounds of psychic epidemics.
Carl Jung

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.
Carl Jung

Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering.
Carl Jung

Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.
Carl Jung

Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.
Carl Jung

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
Carl Jung

Our heart glows, and secret unrest gnaws at the root of our being. Dealing with the unconscious has become a question of life for us.
Carl Jung

Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself.
Carl Jung

Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you.
Carl Jung

Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnormal which robs the second half of life of its purpose.
Carl Jung

Sometimes, indeed, there is such a discrepancy between the genius and his human qualities that one has to ask oneself whether a little less talent might not have been better.
Carl Jung

The Christian missionary may preach the gospel to the poor naked heathen, but the spiritual heathen who populate Europe have as yet heard nothing of Christianity.
Carl Jung

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.
Carl Jung

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

The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.
Carl Jung

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

The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.
Carl Jung

The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.
Carl Jung

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Carl Jung

The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.
Carl Jung

The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.
Carl Jung

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

The wine of youth does not always clear with advancing years; sometimes it grows turbid.
Carl Jung

The word "belief" is a difficult thing for me. I don't believe. I must have a reason for a certain hypothesis. Either I know a thing, and then I know it - I don't need to believe it.
Carl Jung

The word "happiness" would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
Carl Jung

There is no coming to consciousness without pain.
Carl Jung

Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.
Carl Jung

Understanding does not cure evil, but it is a definite help, inasmuch as one can cope with a comprehensible darkness.
Carl Jung

We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.
Carl Jung

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

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

We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
Carl Jung

When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate.
Carl Jung

Where love reigns, there is no will to power; and where the will to power is paramount, love is lacking. The one is but the shadow of the other.
Carl Jung

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.
Carl Jung

Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?
Carl Jung

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Carl Jung

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.
Carl Jung

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Carl Jung
