The symbol in the dream has more the value of a parable: it does not conceal, it teaches.

The greater the tension, the greater is the potential.

I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life.

A sign is always less than the thing it points to, and a symbol is always more than we can understand at first sight. Therefore we stop at the sign but go on to the goal it indicates; but we remain with the symbol because it promises more than it reveals.

The great decisions of human life have as a rule far more to do with the instincts and other mysterious unconscious factors than with conscious will and well-meaning reasonableness. The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases. Each of us carries his own life-form- an indeterminable form which cannot be superseded by any other.

Simple things are always the most difficult.

Called or not, God is always there.
