"Through scientific understanding, our world has become dehumanised. Man feels himself isolated in the cosmos. He is no longer involved in nature and has lost his emotional participation in natural events, which hitherto had a symbolic meaning for him. Thunder is no longer the voice of a god, nor is lightning his avenging missile. No river contains a spirit, no tree makes a mans's life, no snake is the embodiment of wisdom and no mountain still harbours a great demon. Neither do things speak to him nor can he speak to things, like stones, springs, plants and animals." - Carl Jung

"All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination." - Carl Jung

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. " - Carl Jung

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed." - Carl Jung

"Only the symbolic life can express the need of the soul - the daily need of the soul, mind you!" - Carl Jung

"Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent." - Carl Jung

""In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order." - Carl Jung

"the exaggerated rationalization of consciousness...seeking to control nature isolates itself from her and so robs man of his own natural history. He finds himself transplanted into a limited present...The limitation creates a feeling that he is a haphazard creature, without meaning, and it is this feeling that prevents him from living his life with the intensity it demands if it is to be enjoyed to the full." - Carl Jung

"Spirit is the inside of things and matter is their visible outer aspect." - Carl Jung

"At times I feel as if I am spread out over the landscape and inside things, and am myself living in every tree, in the plashing of the waves, in the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession of the seasons." - Carl Jung
