Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. At all counts, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well-meant intentions.

Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking.

So often among so-called "primitives" one comes across spiritual personalities who immediately inspire respect, as though they were the fully matured products of an undisturbed fate.

The self is our life's goal, for it is the completest expression of that fateful combination we call individuality.

Man cannot stand a meaningless life.

From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life.

Where wisdom reigns, there is no conflict between thinking and feeling.
