A few of Carl Jung's Quotes I came across

Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

Swiss psychologist

Carl Jung
An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. 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
Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol, morphine or idealism.

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

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

Carl Jung
Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent.

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

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

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

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, "Memories, Dreams, Reflections", 1962
The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.

Carl Jung, "Modern Man in Search of a Soul"
Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.

Thanks for those Conrad. I generally associate/understand Jung's way of thinking and explaining "the mechanisms" of humans as they go about "being"

I'd say he is somewhat like a Patron-Saint to some People.
Went way beyond his onetime Teacher,Sigmund Freud.

This is possibly a lesser known book related to Jung's work and a very good read, well it was 20 yrs ago

"THE WORLD IS MADE OF GLASS is a story of love, sexual obsession, murder, the mysterious infection of guilt and the absolute need of forgiveness as a condition of human sanity. The narrative is founded on fact: a case history recorded in the autobiography of Carl Gustav Jung, one of the pioneers of modern psychiatry. His account is brief, undated and curiously cryptic: "A lady came into my office. She refused to give her name..she wished to have only one consultation. What she had to communicate to me was a confession. Some twenty years ago, she had committed a murder. " Morris West's version of the encounter is a fascinating blend of truth and dramatic speculation. The events cover the golden time of the Belle Epoque, right up to the twilight year 1913, before the lights went out over Europe and the First World War began. This was a year of crisis for Jung. He was estranged from his old friend and master, Freud. His wife was pregnant with their fifth child. He had given up his lectureship at the University and his work as senior clinician at the Burholzii Mental Hospital. He had begun a love-affair with his one-time pupil Toni Wolff and, to cap it all, he was already suffering from a manic depressive illness that was to last four years. The impact of his encounter with the unnamed woman - mature, beautiful, depraved, yet crying out for healing and pardon - had an explosive effect on Jung and brought him very close to a total breakdown. The woman herself is a classic creation whose story will haunt the reader long after the last page is turned. THE WORLD IS MADE OF GLASS may well be judged to be Morris West's masterwork.
