a man who has not passed through the
inferno of his passions
has never overcome them as far as we can
discern
the sole purpose of human existence is
to kindle a light in the darkness of
mere
being everything that irritates us about
others can lead us to an understanding
of ourselves
your visions will become clear only when
you can look into your own heart
who looks outside dreams who looks
inside
awakes
the privilege of a lifetime is to become
who you truly are
we cannot change anything until we
accept it
condemnation does not liberate it
oppresses
thinking is difficult that's why most
people
judge
the greatest and most important problems
of life
are all fundamentally insoluble
they can never be solved but only
outgrown
man needs difficulties they are
necessary for health
until you make the unconscious conscious
it will direct your life
and you will call it fate
nothing has a stronger influence
psychologically on their environment and
especially on their children
than the unlived life of the parent
dreams are the guiding words of the soul
why should i henceforth not love my
dreams
and not make their riddling images into
objects of my daily consideration
the meeting of two personalities is like
the contact of two chemical substances
if there is any reaction both are
transformed
show me a sane man and i will cure him
for you
the debt we owe to the play of
imagination is incalculable
the most intense conflicts if overcome
leave behind a sense of security and
calm
that is not easily disturbed it is just
these intense conflicts and their
conflagration
which are needed to produce valuable and
lasting results
neurosis is always a substitute for
legitimate suffering
every form of addiction is bad no matter
whether the narcotic be alcohol
morphine or idealism
shrinking away from death is something
unhealthy and abnormal
which robs the second half of life of
its purpose
where love rules there is no will to
power
and where power predominates love is
lacking
the one is the shadow of the other
understanding does not cure evil but it
is a definite help
in as much as one can cope with a
comprehensible
darkness
there is no coming to consciousness
without pain
even a happy life cannot be without a
measure of darkness
and the word happy would lose its
meaning if it were not balanced by
sadness
knowledge rests not upon truth alone
but upon error also
