Carl Jung Quotes About Mothers

Quotes about: Mothers

• Every Mother contains her daughter in herself and every daughter her mother and every mother extends backwards into her mother and forwards into her daughter.

  Carl Jung

  Daughter, Mother, Backwards

  Carl Gustav Jung (1981). “The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious”, p.188, Princeton University Press

• I am an orphan, alone: nevertheless I am found everywhere. I am one, but opposed to myself. I am youth and old man at one and the same time. I have known neither father nor mother, because I have had to be fetched out of the deep like a fish, or fell like a white stone from heaven. In woods and mountains I roam, but I am hidden in the innermost soul of man. I am mortal for everyone, yet I am not touched by the cycle of aeons.

  Carl Jung

  Mother, Father, Men

  Carl Gustav Jung (1973). “Memories, dreams, reflections”, Random House Inc

• The woman who fights against her father still has the possibility of leading an instinctive, feminine existence, because she rejects only what is alien to her. But when she fights against the mother she may, at the risk of injury to her instincts, attain to greater consciousness, because in repudiating the mother she repudiates all that is obscure, instinctive, ambiguous, and unconscious in her own nature.

  Carl Jung

  Mother, Father, Fighting

  Carl Gustav Jung (1981). “The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious”, p.99, Princeton University Press

• Every father is given the opportunity to corrupt his daughter's nature, and the educator, husband, or psychiatrist then has to face the music. For what has been spoiled by the father can only be made good by a father, just as what has been spoiled by the mother can only be repaired by a mother. The disastrous repetition of the family pattern could be described as the psychological original sin, or as the curse of the Atrides running through the generations.

  Carl Jung

  Mother, Running, Daughter

  Carl Gustav Jung, Herbert Read, Michael Fordham, Gerhard Adler (1963). “Mysterium coniunctionis, an inquiry into the separation and synthesis of psychic opposites in alchemy”
