Much of the evil in the world is due to the fact that man in general is hopelessly unconscious.

One is always in the dark about one's own personality. One needs others to get to know oneself.

Nature has no use for the plea that one 'did not know'.

Every civilized human being, whatever his conscious development, is still an archaic man at the deeper levels of his psyche.

The mass State has no intention of promoting mutual understanding and the relationship of man to man; it strives, rather, for atomization, for the psychic isolation of the individual. The more unrelated individuals are, the more consolidated the State becomes, and vice versa.

To me dreams are part of nature, which harbors no intention to deceive but expresses something as best it can.

Unfortunately, there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and darker it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it
