Brief Biography
Carl Gustav Jung (26 July 1875 - 6 June 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist, the founder of analytical psychology. Jung is considered the first modern psychiatrist to view the human psyche as "by nature religious" and make it the focus of exploration. Jung is one of the best known researchers in the field of dream analysis and symbolization. While he was a fully involved and practicing clinician, much of his life's work was spent exploring tangential areas, including Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well as literature and the arts. - Wikipedia

Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him.

Quote 2151by Anonymous on 23/01/2011
Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.
Quote 2542by Anonymous on 31/01/2011
I cannot love anyone if I hate myself. That is the reason why we feel so extremely uncomfortable in the presence of people who are noted for their special virtuousness, for they radiate an atmosphere of the torture they inflict on themselves. That is not a virtue but a vice.

Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.
Quote 3935by Anonymous on 12/02/2011
Science is the tool of the Western mind and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands. It is part and parcel of our knowledge and obscures our insight only when it holds that the understanding given by it is the only kind there is.
Quote 4339by Anonymous on 20/02/2011
I could not say I believe - I know! I have had the experience of being gripped by something that is stronger than myself, something that people call God.

Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol, morphine or idealism.
Quote 10075by Anonymous on 11/09/2012
We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Quote 13209by Anonymous on 28/06/2013
An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
