Knowledge does not enrich us; it removes us more and more from the mythic world in which we were once at home by right of birth.
Carl JungA particularly beautiful woman is a source of terror. As a rule, a beautiful woman is a terrible disappointment.
Carl JungI know only that I was born and exist, and it seems to me that I have been carried along. I exist on the foundation of something I do not know. In spite of all uncertainties, I feel a solidity underlying all existence and a continuity in my mode of being.
Carl JungWe don't so much solve our problems as we outgrow them. We add capacities and experiences that eventually make us bigger than the problems.
Carl JungThe utter failure came at the Crucifixion in the tragic words, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' If you want to understand the full tragedy of those words you must realize what they meant: Christ saw that his whole life, devoted to the truth according to his best conviction, had been a terrible illusion. He had lived it to the full absolutely sincerely, he had made his honest experiment, but it was nevertheless a compensation. On the cross his mission deserted him. But because he had lived so fully and devotedly he won through to the Resurrection body.
