Carl Jung quotes

Carl Jung (1875-1961) was the founder of Analytical Psychology, which focused on Individuation. Jung emphasized the importance of balance and harmony, and recommended integrating spirituality and non-physical awareness.

Carl Jung quotes:

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

If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.

The word "happiness" would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

We cannot change anything until we accept it.

Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
