Carl Jung Quotes about Universe

  • Man positively needs general ideas and convictions that will give a meaning to his life and enable him to find a place for himself in the universe
  • Our psyche is set up in accord with the structure of the universe, and what happens in the macrocosm likewise happens in the infinitesimal and most subjective reaches of the psyche
  • As one grows older one must try not to work oneself to death unnecessarily. At least that's how it is with me... I can scarcely keep pace and must watch out that the creative forces do not chase me around the universe in a wallop.
