Doesn't the world bring forth thinking in human heads with the same necessity that it brings forth blossoms on the plant?
Carl JungNew ideas are not only the enemies of old ones; they also appear often in an extremely unacceptable form.
Carl JungIf a union is to take place between opposites like spirit and matter, conscious and unconscious, bright and dark, and so on, it will happen in a third thing, which represents not a compromise but something new.
Carl JungI know that in many things I am not like others, but I do not know what I really am like. Man cannot compare himself with any other creature; he is not a monkey, not a cow, not a tree. I am a man. But what is it to be that? Like every other being, I am a splinter of the infinite deity, but I cannot contrast myself with any animal, any plant or any stone. Only a mythical being has a range greater than man's. How then can man form any definite opinions about himself?.
