“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

“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

“All psychological suffering (or happiness, taken in its usual sense) is a matter of comparison.”
― Robert A. Johnson, He: Understanding Masculine Psychology

“سيأتي المستقبل بكل وقاحة ، و يجعل منا جيلا قديما ، بأغان قديمة ، و أزياء قديمة ، و لهجة هي الاخرى قديمة ، ياالهي نحن نكبر ايضا ، لقد شاغلتنا الحروب و نسينا اننا نكبر ، الحروب الحديثة تبقى مراهقة ونحن نتقدم في العمر الصواريخ فتية ونحن نمضي في السنوات”
