My position is not entirely clear to me. - LS, p. 99 #CGJung

Like everything healthy and long-lasting, truth unfortunately adheres more to the middle way, which we unjustly abhor. - LS, p. 99 #CGJung

I know men who need inferiority, not superiority. - LS, p. 99 #CGJung

I believe that I've recently discovered that we also need a truth for those who are forced into a corner. It's possible that instead they need a depressive truth, which makes man smaller and more inward. - LS, p. 99 #CGJung

But especially Nietzsche's truth strikes me as too agitated and provocative--; it's good for those who are yet to be set free. - LS, p. 99 #CGJung

You know that I value science extraordinarily highly. But there are actually moments in life where science also leaves us empty and sick. - LS, p. 98 #CGJung

The divine appears to me as irrational craziness. - LS, p. 78 #CGJung

I don't want to be divine but reasonable. - LS, p. 78 #CGJung

But the way is my own self, my own life founded upon myself. - LS, p. 78 #CGJung

The fire burns right through you. That which guides forces you onto the way. - LS, p. 78 #CGJung

There is no escape. - LS, p. 78 #CGJung

You want to overcome it, but it overcomes you. You want to set limits, but it compels you to keep going. You want to elude it, but it comes with you. You want to employ it, but you are its tool; you want to think about it, but your thoughts obey it. - LS, p. 78 #CGJung

Sometimes you no longer recognize yourself. - LS, p. 78 #CGJung

You feel that the fire of the sun has erupted in you. Something new has been added to you, a holy affliction. - LS, p. 78 #CGJung

It will burn inside you like a terrible, inextinguishable fire. But despite all the torment, you cannot let it be, since it will not let you be. From this you will understand that your God is alive and that your soul has begun wandering on remorseless paths. - LS, p. 78 #CGJung

There are not many truths, there are only a few. Their meaning is too deep to grasp other than in symbols. - LS, p. 78 #CGJung

We must regenerate ourselves. - LS, p. 77 #CGJung

Why become enraged? You might as well rage every day of your life, for these and similar things occur every day. - LS, p. 76 #CGJung

Do not look back and regret nothing. - LS, p. 75 #CGJung

Do not go out seeking those who err. What do you know about their error? Perhaps it is sacred. You should not disturb the sacred. - LS, p. 75 #CGJung
