Here are lessons from the book Man and His Symbols by Carl Jung

Life is a battleground. It always has been, and always will be; and if it were not so, existence would come to an end.

Every transformation demands as its precondition “the ending of a world”-the collapse of an old philosophy of life.

The achievement of psychological maturity is an individual task-and so is increasingly difficult today when man’s individuality isthreatened by widespread conformity.

Man, as we realize if we reflect for a moment, never perceives anything fully or comprehends anything completely.

There is a desert on the moon where the dreamer sinks so deeply into the ground that she reaches hell.

The fact is that each person has to do something different, something that is uniquely his own.

It is the face of his own evil shadow that grins at Western man from the other side of the Iron curtain.
