The 'squaring of the circle' is one of the many archetypal motifs which form the basic patterns of our dreams and fantasies. But it is distinguished by the fact that it is one of the most important of them from the functional point of view. Indeed, it could even be called the archetype of wholeness.
Carl JungEvery civilized human being, whatever his conscious development, is still an archaic man at the deeper levels of his psyche.
Carl Jung
