Volume · 10 passages

  1. The only real adventure remaining for each individual is the exploration of his own unconscious. The ultimate goal of such a search is the forming of a harmonious balanced relationship with the self.

    C. G. Jung
  2. Everything remains the same if you give it a new name.

    C. G. Jung
  3. The animal does not rebel against its own kind. Consider animals: how just they are, how well-behaved, how they keep to the time honored, how loyal they are to the land that bears them, how they hold to their accustomed routes, how they care for their young, how they go together to pasture, and how they draw one another to the spring. There is not one that conceals its overabundance and lets its brother starve as a result. There is not one that tries to enforce its will on those of its own kind. Not one mistakenly imagines that it is an elephant when it is a mosquito. The animal lives fittingly and true to the life of its species, neither exceeding nor falling short of it.

    C. G. Jung

    C. G. Jung
  7. Humankind is masculine and feminine, not just man or woman. You can hardly say of your soul what sex it is.

    C. G. Jung
  8. The most masculine man has a feminine soul, and the most feminine woman has a masculine soul.

    C. G. Jung
