Is not every experience, even in the best of circumstances, at least fifty-per-cent subjective interpretation? On the other hand, the subject is also an objective fact, a piece of the world; and what comes from him comes , ultimately, from the stuff of the world itself, just as the rarest and strangest organism is none the less supported and nourished by the earth which is common to all. It is precisely the most subjective ideas which, being closest to nature and to our own essence, deserve to be called the truest. CW 4 - par 770

Quote of the day
The meeting with ourselves is one of the most unpleasant things that may be avoided as long as we possess living symbolic figures into which everything unknown in ourselves is projected. CW 9, I, 69f

Quote of the day
The art of letting things happen, action through non-action, letting go of oneself... became for me the key opening the door to the way. We must be able to let things happen in the psyche. For us, this actually is an art of which few people know anything. Consciousness is forever interfering, helping, correcting, and negating, and never leaving the simple growth of the psychic process in peace. It would be simple enough, if only simplicity were not the most difficult of all things. CW 13 - par 20

Quote of the day
After a while, it will be discovered that nothing really "new" has ever happened in world history. It would be possible to speak of something really new only in the inconceivable event that reasonableness, humanity and love should win a lasting victory. CW 18 - par 1456

Quote of the day
Our hypotheses are uncertain and groping, and nothing offers us the assurance that they may ultimately prove correct. That the world inside and outside ourselves rests on a transcendental background is as certain as our own existence, but it is equally certain that the direct perception of the archetypal world inside us is just as doubtfully correct as that of the physical world outside us. If we are convinced that we know ultimate truth concerning metaphysical things, this means nothing more than that archetypal images have taken possession of our powers of though and feeling. CW 14 - par 786

Quote of the day
No path leads beyond perfection into the future--there is only a turning back, a collapse of the ideal, which could have easily have been avoided by paying attention to the feminine ideal of completeness. CW 11 - par 627
