“Human life is a balancing act between endeavouring to improve ourselves and accepting who we were.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, NEXUS: A Brief History of Infomation Networks from the Stone Age to AI (Volume.2) [Japanese Edition]

“I hadn’t gotten old enough yet to realize that living sends a person not into the future but back into the past, to childhood and before birth, finally, to commune with the dead. You get older, you puff on the stairs, you enter the body of your father. From there it’s only a quick jump to your grandparents, and then before you know it you’re time-traveling. In this life we grow backwards.”
― Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex

“the destruction of the God-image is followed by the annulment of the human personality. Materialistic atheism with its Utopian chimeras forms the religion of all those rationalistic movements which delegate the freedom of personality to the masses and thereby extinguish it.”
― C.G.Jung, Aion: Researches Into the Phenomenology of the Self (Collected Works of C. G. Jung) by C.G. Jung (5-Sep-1991) Paperback

“Natural as it is to seek perfection in one way or another, the archetype fulfills itself in completeness, and this is a teleiosis of quite another kind. Where the archetype predominates, completeness is forced upon us against all our conscious strivings, in accordance with the archaic nature of the archetype. The individual may strive after perfection …but must suffer from the opposite of his intentions for the sake of his completeness.”
― C.G. Jung, Aion
