If you should see people in a room, you would not think that you had made those people, or that you were responsible for them.
Carl JungOne could say, with a little exaggeration, that the persona is that which in reality one is not, but which oneself as well as others think one is.
Carl JungBut what will he do when he sees only too clearly why his patient is ill; when he sees that it arises from his having no love, but only sexuality; no faith, because he is afraid to grope in the dark; no hope, because he is disillusioned by the world and by life; and no understanding, because he has failed to read the meaning of his own existence?
Carl Jung
