...anyone who attempts to do both, to adjust to his group and at the same time pursue his individual goal, becomes neurotic.
Carl JungWho has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?
Carl JungArt is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher senseโ he is "collective man"โ one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic forms of mankind.
Carl JungWhether you call the principle of existence "God," "matter," "energy," or anything else you like, you have created nothing; you have merely changed a symbol. Eastern and Western Thinking, 1938
Carl Jung...it seemed to me I was living in an insane asylum of my own making. I wnt about with all these fantastic figures: centaurs, nymphs, satyrs, gods and goddesses, as though they were patients and I was analyzing them. I read a Greek or Negro myth as if a lunatic were telling me his anamnesis.
