C.G. Jung
“The reason for evil in the world is that people are not able to tell their stories.”
Carl Gustav Jung

C.G. Jung
“The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life. Only if we know that the thing which truly matters is the infinite can we avoid fixing our interests upon futilities, and upon all kinds of goals which are not of real importance. Thus we demand that the world grant us recognition for qualities which we regard as personal possessions: our talent or our beauty. The more a man lays stress on false possessions, and the less sensitivity he has for what is essential, the less satisfying is his life. He feels limited because he has limited aims, and the result is envy and jealousy. If we understand and feel that here in this life we already have a link with the infinite, desires and attitudes change.”
Carl Gustav Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections

“To put this in perspective, if most of the animals in the ocean are bioluminescent (from single-celled bacteria to colossal squid) then a majority of the creatures on the planet are communicating using language-of-light dialects that we don’t comprehend.”
Dr Edith Widder

“Words are animals, alive with a will of their own”
Carl Gustav Jung

C.G. Jung
“Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. To perform this difficult office it is sometimes necessary for him to sacrifice happiness and everything that makes life worth living for the ordinary human being.”
Carl Gustav Jung
