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

When an individual does not become conscious of their inner contradictions, the world acts out the conflict and is torn in opposite halves.

Enchantment is the oldest form of medicine.

Colors express the main psychic functions of man.

The difference between the "natural" individuation process, which runs its course unconsciously, and the one that is consciously realized is tremendous. In the first case, consciousness nowhere intervenes; the end remains as dark as the beginning. In the second case, so much darkness comes to light that the personality is permeated with light and consciousness necessarily gains in scope and insight. The encounter between conscious and unconscious has to ensure that the light that shines in the darkness is not only comprehended by the darkness, but comprehends it.

No one can flatter himself that he is immune to the spirit of his own epoch, or even that he possesses a full understanding of it.

Freedom stretches only as far as the limits of our consciousness.
