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

Jung: "The collective unconscious consists of the sum of the instincts and their correlates, the archetypes. Just as everybody possesses instincts, so he also possesses a stock of archetypal images."

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

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."

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

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."

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

Jung: "Dreams are the guiding words of the soul. Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration?"

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

Jung: "Man is not a machine that can be remodelled for quite other purposes as occasion demands, in the hope that it will go on functioning as regularly as before but in a quite different way. He carries his whole history with him; in his very structure is written the history of mankind."

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

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."

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

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."

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

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."

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

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."

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

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."

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

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."

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