"His retreat into himself is not a..." - Quote by Carl Jung

“A true symbol appears only when there is a need to express what thought cannot think or what is only divined or felt.”

“I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life.”

“Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnormal which robs the second half of life of its purpose.”

“For instance, I never complained that my birthday was overlooked; people were even surprised, with a touch of admiration, by my discretion on this subject. But the reason for my disinterestedness was even more discreet: I longed to be forgotten in order to be able to complain to myself... Once my solitude was thoroughly proved, I could surrender to the charms of a virile self-pity.”

“One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more.”

“I am no more lonely than a single mullein or dandelion in a pasture, or a bean leaf, or sorrel, or a horse-fly, or a bumblebee. I am no more lonely than the Mill Brook, or a weathercock, or the north star, or the south wind, or an April shower, or a January thaw, or the first spider in a new house.”

“Our worst fault is our preoccupation with the faults of others.”

“I am an intelligent river which has reflected successively all the banks before which it has flowed by meditating only on the images offered by those changing shores.”

“All criticism is a form of autobiography”
