“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections
“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.” Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections
“The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.” Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections
“As understanding deepens, the further removed it becomes from knowledge.” Carl Jung, The Undiscovered Self
“we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life's morning—for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.” Carl Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul
“If only a world-wide consciousness could arise that all division and all fission are due to the splitting of opposites in the psyche, then we should know where to begin.” Carl Jung, The Undiscovered Self
