Carl Jung said…

• Seldom, or perhaps never, does a marriage develop into an individual relationship smoothly and without crises
• Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children, than the unlived life of the parent
• The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases
• Everything that irritates us about others can lead to an understanding of ourselves
• Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes
• The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed
• There is no coming to consciousness without pain
• Emotion is the chief source of all becoming-conscious. There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion.
• 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.
• The conscious mind allows itself to be trained like a parrot, but the unconscious does not — which is why St Augustine thanked God for not making him responsible for his dreams.
• 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
• Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people
• 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.
• Naturally, every age thinks that all ages before it were prejudiced, and today we think this more than ever and are just as wrong as all previous ages that thought so. It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history. (1960).
