  Carl Gustav Jung (1956). “Symbols of transformation”

A symbol does not define or explain; it points beyond itself to a meaning that is darkly divined yet still beyond our grasp, and cannot be adequately expressed in the familiar words of our language.

  Carl Jung

  Mean, Psychology, Doe

  Carl Gustav Jung (1981). “The Collected Works of C. G. Jung: Structure and dynamics of the psyche”

• The creative process, so far as we are able to follow it at all, consists in the unconscious activation of an archetypal image and elaborating and shaping the image into the finished work. By giving it shape, the artist translates it into the language of the present and so makes it possible for us to find our way back to the deepest springs of life.

  Carl Jung

  Spring, Artist, Giving

  Carl Gustav Jung (1966). “The Spirit in Man, Art, and Literature”, Routledge

• No language exists that cannot be misused... Every Interpretation is hypothetical, for it is a mere attempt to read an unfamiliar text.

  Carl Jung

  "Modern Man in Search of a Soul". Book by Carl Jung, p. 14, 1933.
