Individualization does not shut one out from the world, but gathers the world to oneself.

Projection [of our own shadow] makes the whole world a replica of our own unknown face.

On the level of the Son there is no answer to the question of good and evil; there is only an incurable separation of the opposites. . . .

The psychiatrist knows only too well how each of us becomes the helpless but not pitiable victim of his own sentiments. Sentimentality is the superstructure erected upon brutality.

We don't so much solve our problems as we outgrow them. We add capacities and experiences that eventually make us bigger than the problems.

The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.

I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life.
