  • Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
  • Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
  • Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people
  • The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases
  • The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
  • The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
  • We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
  • There is no coming to consciousness without pain.
  • The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside as fate.
The mandala is an archetypal image whose occurrence is attested thoughout the ages. It signifies the wholesness of the Self. This circular image represents the wholeness of the psychic ground or, to put it in mythic terms, the divinity incarnate in man.
  • Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you.
  • The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.
  • 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.
  • Tears, sorrow, and disappointment are bitter, but wisdom is the comforter in all psychic suffering. Indeed, bitterness and wisdom form a pair of alternatives: where there is bitterness wisdom is lacking, and where wisdom is there can be no bitterness.
  • In contrast to the meditation found in yoga practice, the psychoanalytic aim is to observe the shadowy presentation — whether in the form of images or of feelings — that are spontaneously evolved in the unconscious psyche and appear without his bidding to the man who looks within. In this way we find once more things that we have repressed or forgotten. Painful though it may be, this is in itself a gain — for what is inferior or even worthless belongs to me as my Shadow and gives me substance and mass. How can I be substantial if I fail to cast a Shadow? I must have a dark side also if I am to be whole; and insasmuch as I become conscious of my Shadow I also remember that I am a human being like any other. Modern Man in Search of a Soul, pg 35.
  • Astrology would be an excellent example of manifest synchronicity if it had at its disposal thoroughly tested findings. But at least there are some facts thorougly tested and backed up by a wealth of statistics which make the astrological problem seem worthy of philosphical investigation. (Psycholody has no difficulty in recognizing this, since astrology represents the summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.) The Secret of the Golden Flower, by Richard Wilhelm, commentary by C.G. Jung, pg 142
  • Logically the opposite of love is hate, and of Eros, Phobos, (fear); but psychologically it is the will to power. 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. CW7: 
  • It is no easy matter to live a life that is modeled on Christ’s, but it is unspeakably harder to live one’s own life as truly as Christ lived his. Anyone who did this would run counter to the conditions of his own history, and though he might thus be fulfilling them, he would nonetheless be misjudged, derided, tortured and crucified. CW 11: Psychology and Religion: par 522, pg 340
  • In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.
