How difficult it is to reach anything approaching a moderate and relatively calm point of view in the midst of one's emotions.

Many who know something but not enough about dreams and their meaning...are liable to succumb to the prejudice that the dream actually has a moral purpose, that it warns, rebukes, comforts, foretells the future, etc. If one believes that the unconscious always knows best, one can easily be betrayed into leaving the dreams to take the necessary decisions, and is then disappointed when the dreams become more and more trivial and meaningless...The unconscious functions satisfactorily only when the conscious mind fufills its task to the very limit.

What is not brought to consciousness, comes to us as fate.

I am no longer alone with myself, and I can only artificially recall the scary and beautiful feeling of solitude. This is the shadow side of the fortune of love.

Yahweh [God] must become man precisely because he has done man a wrong. He, the guardian of justice, knows that every wrong must be expiated, and Wisdom knows that moral law is above even him. Because his creature has surpassed him he must regenerate himself

There is no such thing as a pure extrovert or a pure introvert. Such a man would be in the lunatic asylum.

Man positively needs general ideas and convictions that will give a meaning to his life and enable him to find a place for himself in the universe.
