Just as we tend to assume that the world is as we see it, we naively suppose that people are as we imagine them to be.
Carl JungThe conscious mind allows itself to be trained like a parrot, but the unconscious does not — which is why St. Augustine thanked God for not making him responsible for his dreams.
Carl JungGood does not become better by being exaggerated, but worse; And a small evil becomes a big one through being disregarded and repressed.
Carl JungThe curve of life is like the parabola of a projectile which, disturbed from its initial state of rest, rises and then returns to a state of repose... Like a projectile flying to its goal, life ends in death. Even its ascent and its zenith are only steps and means to this goal... For, enlightenment or no enlightenment, consciousness or no consciousness, nature prepares itself for death.
Carl Jung
