A complex is a cluster of energy in the unconscious, charged by historic events, reinforced through repitition, embodying a fragment of our personality, and generating a programmed response and an implicit set of expectations.

I am looking forward enormously to getting back to the sea again, where the overstimulated psyche can recover in the presence of that infinite peace and spaciousness.

The foundation of all mental illness is the unwillingness to experience legitimate suffering.

Our world has become dehumanized. Man feels himself isolated in the cosmos, because he is no longer involved in nature.

I cannot define for you what God is. I can only say that my work has proved empirically that the pattern of God exists in every man and that this pattern has at its disposal the greatest of all his energies for transformation and transfiguration of his natural being. Not only the meaning of his life but his renewal and his institutions depend on his conscious relationship with this pattern of his collective unconscious.

We can keep from a child all knowledge of earlier myths, but we cannot take from him the need for mythology.

The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.
