The less we understand of what our fathers and forefathers sought, the less we understand ourselves, and thus we help with all our might to rob the individual of his roots and his guiding instincts, so that he becomes a particle in the mass, ruled only by what Nietzsche called the spirit of gravity.

We don't so much solve our problems as we outgrow them. We add capacities and experiences that eventually make us bigger than the problems.

Man positively needs general ideas and convictions that will give a meaning to his life and enable him to find a place for himself in the universe.

I have always said to my pupils: "Learn as much as you can about symbolism; then forget it when you are analyzing a dream."

It is only our deeds that reveal who we are.

A residual sea of symbols which is shared by all mankind, usually accessed through dreams or altered states, and from which cultures draw images on which to found their religions.

We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts. Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective principles. As the man is, so will be his ultimate truth.
