"Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people..." - Quote by Carl Jung

“Naturally, every age thinks that all ages before it were prejudiced, and today we think this more than ever and are just as wrong as all previous ages that thought so. How often have we not seen the truth condemned! It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.”

“As a plant produces its flower, so the psyche creates its symbols.”

“There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion.”

“For many years I had been deeply identified with thinking and the painful, heavy emotions that had accumulated inside. My thought activity was mostly negative, and my sense of identity was also mostly negative, although I tried hard to prove to myself and to the world that I was good enough by working very hard academically. But even after I had achieved academic success, I was happy for two weeks or three and then the depression and anxiety came back.”

“Although an increasing number of humans are undergoing a process of awakening, identification with thinking is still the prevalent state of consciousness. Thinking is potentially a powerful tool, but it has taken us over, and a lot of it is dysfunctional and negative.”

“There is no limit to which a man will not go to avoid thinking.”

“Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.”

“The picture waits for my verdict; it is not to command me, but I am to settle its claim to praise.”

“For a strolling damsel a doubtful reputation bears.[Ger., Denn ein wanderndes Madchen ist immer von schwankendem Rufe.]”
