“To awaken means to realize one's nothingness, that is, to realize one's complete and absolute mechanicalness, and one's complete and absolute helplessness... So long as a man is not horrified at himself, he knows nothing about himself.”
― G.I. Gurdjieff

“If you want to determine the nature of anything, entrust it to time: when the sea is stormy, you can see nothing clearly”
― Seneca

“To what end does one liberate one's country if afterward there is no meaningful goal in life, no goal for which it is worthwhile to be free? If a person no longer finds any meaning in their life, it makes no difference whether they waste away under a communist or a capitalist regime. Only if they can use their freedom to create something meaningful is it relevant that they should be free. That is why finding the inner meaning of life is more important to the individual than anything else, and why the process of individuation must be given priority.”
― Marie-Louise von Franz

“When you come to that loneliness with yourself-when you are eternally alone-you are forced in upon yourself and are bound to become aware of your background”
― Carl Jung
