empiricism if one occasionally makes certain reflections which go beyond a
mere accumulation and classification of experience. -- Carl Gustav

By a strange enantiodromia, the Christian spirit of the West has become
the defender of the irrational, since, in spite of having fathered
rationalism and intellectualism, it has not succumbed to them so far as to
give up its belief in the rights of man, and especially the freedom of the
individual. -- Carl Gustav Jung

Our dependence on words is so strong that a philosophical brand
of "existentialism" had to restore the balance by pointing to a reality
that exists in spite of words -- at considerable risk, however, of concepts
such as "existence," "existential," etc. turning into more words which
delude us into thinking we have caught a reality. -- Carl Gustav

Fortune Quote #2863
Ordinary giving for which no return is received is felt as a loss, but a
sacrifice is meant to be like a loss, so that one may be sure that the
egoistic claim no longer exists. Therefore the gift should be given as if
it were being destroyed. But since the gift represents myself, I have in
that case destroyed myself, given myself away without expectation of
return. Yet, looked at in another way, this intentional loss is also a
gain, for if you can give yourself it proves that you possess yourself.
Nobody can give that which he has not got. -- Carl Gustav Jung
