I can only gaze with wonder and awe at the depths of and heights of our psychic nature. Its non-spatial universe conceals an untold abundance of images which have accumulated over millions of years of living development and become fixed in the organism....Beside this picture I would like to place the spectacle of the starry heavens at night, for the only equivalent of the universe within is the universe without; and just as I reach this world through the medium of the body, so I reach that world through the medium of the psyche.

The world hangs on a thin thread, and that is the psyche of man.

People cannot stand too much Reality.

I must also have a dark side if I am to be whole.

In fact, the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious

The reason for evil in the world is that people are not able to tell their stories.

It is also possible for the unconscious or an archetype to take complete possession of a man and to determine his fate down to the smallest detail
