All the most powerful ideas in history go back to archetypes.

My work as a psychoanalyst is to help patients recover their lost wholeness and to strengthen the psyche so it can resist future dismemberment.

No nation keeps its word. A nation is a big, blind worm, following what? Fate perhaps. A nation has no honor, it has no word to keep.

Archetypes, in spite of their conservative nature, are not static but in a continuous dramatic flux. Thus the self as a monad or continuous unit would be dead. But it lives inasmuch as it splits and unites again. There is no energy without opposites!

Understanding does not cure evil, but it is a definite help, inasmuch as one can cope with a comprehensible darkness.

The bigger the crowd, the more negligible the individual.

It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.
