How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also If I am to be whole
Carl JungResistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself.
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 JungThe facts of nature cannot in the long run be violated. Penetrating and seeping through everything like water, they will undermine any system that fails to take account of them, and sooner or later they will bring about its downfall. But an authority wise enough in its statesmanship to give sufficient free play to nature - of which spirit is a part - need fear no premature decline.
Carl JungIt is in applied psychology, if anywhere, that today we should be modest and grant validity to a number of apparently contradictory opinions; for we are still far from having anything like a thorough knowledge of the human psyche, that most challenging field of scientific enquiry. For the present we have merely more or less plausible opinions that defy reconciliation.
