About a third of my cases are suffering from no clinically definable neurosis, but from the senselessness and emptiness of their lives.

I want to be freed neither from human beings, nor from myself, nor from nature; for all these appear to me the greatest of miracles.

The Self then functions as a union of opposites and thus constitutes the most immediate experience of the Divine which it is psychologically possible to imagine

Moreover, my ancestors' souls are sustained by the atmosphere of the house, since I answer for them the questions that their lives once left behind. I carve out rough answers as best I can. I have even drawn them on the walls. It is as if a silent, greater family, stretching down the centuries, were peopling the house.

The serious problems in life...are never fully solved. If ever they should appear to be so it is a sure sign that something has been lost. The meaning and purpose of a problem seem to lie not in its solution but in our working at it incessantly.

One cannot live without inconsistency.

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