“Our egos divide the world into positive and negative, good and bad. Most aspects of our shadows, these qualities that we see as “negative,” would in fact be valuable strengths if we made them conscious. Characteristics that look immoral, barbaric, or embarrassing to us are the “negative” side of a valuable energy, a capacity we could make use of. You will never find anything in the unconscious that will not be useful and good when it is made conscious and brought to the right level.”
― Robert A. Johnson, Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth

“أبى .. تبهت ذكراه بكرور السنين وأشعر بالأسى كلما أكتشفت أننى لم أعد قادرا على استدعاء لون عينيه، وأعود إلى أوراقى القديمة لأتثبت أنه مات ضحى يوم الأثنين قائظ الحرارة فى شهر يوليو البغيض.”
― مصطفى بيومى, إنسان

“I am accused of mysticism. I do not, however, hold myself responsible for the fact that man has, everywhere and always, spontaneously developed religious forms of expression, and that the human psyche from time immemorial has been shot through with religious feelings and ideas. Whoever cannot see this aspect of the human psyche is blind, and whoever chooses to explain it away, or to "enlighten" it away, has no sense of reality.”
― C.G. Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul

“نمقت الهزيمة، لا نقبل بها، فإن قضت علينا، نموت كالشجر واقفين، ننجز أمرين كلاهما جميل: شرف المحاولة وخبراتٌ ثمينة، تركةٌ نخلّفها بحرص إلى القادمين. هناك احتمال آخر لتتويج مسعانا بغير الهزيمة، ما دمنا قررنا أننا لن نموت قبل أن نحاول أن نحيا”
