Famous Quotes By Carl Gustav Jung
 An understanding heart is everything is a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child. 
As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.
Creative powers can just as easily turn out to be destructive. It rests solely with the moral personality whether they apply themselves to good things or to bad. And if this is lacking, no teacher can supply it or take its place.
Enlightenment is not imagining figures of light but making the darkness conscious.
Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.
In studying the history of the human mind one is impressed again and again by the fact that the growth of the mind is the widening of the range of consciousness, and that each step forward has been a most painful and laborious achievement. One could almost say that nothing is more hateful to man than to give up even a particle of his unconsciousness. Ask those who have tried to introduce a new idea!
It all depends on how we look at things, and not on how they are themselves.
Sometimes, indeed, there is such a discrepancy between the genius and his human qualities that one has to ask oneself whether a little less talent might not have been better.
The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
We cannot change anything unless we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
