This experience punctured the desired hole in her rationalism and broke the ice of her intellectual resistance. - Carl Jung

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

Like plants, so men also grow, some in the light, others in the shadows. There are many who need the shadows and not the light.

"The motto "Where there's a will, there's a way" is the superstition of modern man.

Yes in order to sustain his creed, contemporary man pays the price in a remarkable lack of introspection. He is blind to the fact that, with all his rationality and efficiency, he is possessed by "powers" that are beyond his control. His god and demons have not disappeared at all; they have merely got new names. They keep him on the run with restlessness, vague apprehensions, psychological complications, an insatiable need for pills, alcohol, tobacco, food — and, above all, a large array of neuroses."
