Dreaming is a philogenetically older mode of thought.
One cannot free oneself by bowing to the yoke, but by breaking it.
What is not brought to consciousness, comes to us as fate.
We cannot change anything unless we accept it.
How difficult it is to reach anything approaching a moderate and relatively calm point of view in the midst of one's emotions.
You are a slave of what you need in your soul.
Every individual needs revolution, inner division, overthrow of the existing order, and renewal, but not by forcing them upon his neighbors under the hypocritical cloak of Christian love or the sense of social responsibility or any of the other beautiful euphemisms for unconscious urges to personal power.
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.
The dream arises from a part of the mind unknown to us, but none the less important, and is concerned with the desires for the approaching day.
We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
The best political, social, and spiritual work we can do is to withdraw the projection of our shadow onto others.
All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.
Active imagination requires a state of reverie, half-way between sleep and waking.
It is a fact that cannot be denied: the wickedness of others becomes our own wickedness because it kindles something evil in our own hearts.
