Quotes from Jung

Everything that irritates us about others can

lead us to a better understanding of

ourselves.

The shoe that fits one person pinches

another; there is no recipe for living that

suits all cases.

As far as we can discern, the sole purposeof human existence is to kindle a light in the

darkness of mere being.
