The Death of Cynthia Horner (1994)
Context: With a care both conscious and reverential, Cynthia and I built a love which I believe inspired most who came near it. We felt it was our gift to the world. We wanted to show the hesitant the miracle that comes when two people give their hearts unconditionally, honestly, fearlessly, and without reservation or judgement. We wanted to make our union into a message of hope, and I believe we did, even though we knew that hearts opened so freely can be shattered if something should go wrong. As my heart is shattered now.
“Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into light.”

“Even if the whole world were to fall to pieces, the unity of the psyche would never be shattered.”
Civilization in Transition (1964)
Context: Even if the whole world were to fall to pieces, the unity of the psyche would never be shattered. And the wider and more numerous the fissures on the surface, the more the unity is strengthened in the depths.
“Lately, the world felt fragile, like a blown egg, as if it might shatter beneath a careless touch.”
