The Christian missionary may preach the gospel to the poor naked heathen, but the spiritual heathen who populate Europe have as yet heard nothing of Christianity.
~ Carl Jung - [Missionaries]

Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not.
~ Carl Jung - [Mistakes]

There is no coming to consciousness without pain.
~ Carl Jung - [Pain]

When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate.
~ Carl Jung - [Fate]

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.
~ Carl Jung - [Genius]

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
~ Carl Jung - [Happiness]

Our blight is ideologies -- they are the long-expected Antichrist!
~ Carl Jung - [Ideology]

All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.
~ Carl Jung - [Imagination]

Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.
~ Carl Jung - [Imagination]

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
~ Carl Jung - [Imitation]

Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself.
~ Carl Jung - [Individuality]

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
~ Carl Jung - [Individuality]

Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent.
~ Carl Jung - [Influence]

The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.
~ Carl Jung - [Conflict]

The images of the unconscious place a great responsibility upon a man. Failure to understand them, or a shirking of ethical responsibility, deprives him of his wholeness and imposes a painful fragmentariness on his life.
~ Carl Jung - [Consciousness]

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances. If there is any reaction, both are transformed.
~ Carl Jung - [Cooperation]

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.
~ Carl Jung - [Creativity]

It is on the whole probably that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it.
~ Carl Jung - [Dreams]

An inflated consciousness is always egocentric and conscious of nothing but its own existence. It is incapable of learning from the past, incapable of understanding contemporary events, and incapable of drawing right conclusions about the future. It is hypnotized by itself and therefore cannot be argued with. It inevitably dooms itself to calamities that must strike it dead.
~ Carl Jung - [Egotism]

There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion.
~ Carl Jung - [Emotions]
