JUNG QUOTES

In his Collected Works, Jung wrote hundreds of “quotable quotes”.  Here is a brief sample:

“In each of us there is another whom we do not know.”

“Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.”

“What you resist, persists.”

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”

“We may think that we are fully in control of ourselves.  However, a friend can easily reveal something about us that we have absolutely no idea about.”

“The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it.”

“The true leader is always led.”

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”

“There is no birth of consciousness without pain.”

“The afternoon of life is just as full of meaning as the morning, only its meaning and purpose are different.”

“The sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”

“The shoe that fits one person pinches another.  There is no recipe for living that suits all cases.”

“Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you.”
