• From the living fountain of instinct flows everything that is creative; hence the unconscious is not merely conditioned by history, but is the very source of the creative impulse. It is like Nature herself - prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation.
  Carl Jung Quotes
• Man can try to name love, showering upon it all the names at his command, and still he will involve himself in endless self deceptions. If he possesses a grain of wisdom he will lay down his arms and name the unknown by the more unknown - ignotum per ignotius - that is by the name of God.
  Carl Jung Quotes
  
• ...The unconscious has no time. There is no trouble about time in the unconscious. Part of our psyche is not in time and not in space. They are only an illusion, time and space, and so in a certain part of our psyche time does not exist at all.
  Carl Jung Quotes
• Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
  Carl Jung Quotes
• 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 Quotes
• Were it not a fact of experience that supreme values reside in the soul, psychology would not interest me in the least, for the soul would then be nothing but a miserable vapor.
  Carl Jung Quotes
• The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
  Carl Jung Quotes
• Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
  Carl Jung Quotes
• 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.
