A creative person has little power over his own life. He is not free. He is captive and driven by his daimon. - Carl Jung

"A great work of art is like a dream; for all its apparent obviousness it does not explain itself and is never unequivocal. A dream never says: "You ought", or: "This is the truth." It presents an image in much the same way as nature allows a plant to grow, and we must draw our own conclusions. If a person has a nightmare, it means either that he is too much given to fear, or else that he is too exempt from it;"

It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
