• So far as the personality is still potential, it can be called transcendent, and so far as it is unconscious, it is indistinguishable from all those things that carry its projections...that is, symbols of the outside world and the cosmic symbols.

• To know another human being in their essence, you don’t really need to know anything about them - their past, their history, their story.

One operates through thought, the other through stillness.
