“Faith, hope, love, and insight are the highest achievements of human effort. They are found-given-by experience.”

“I am looking forward enormously to getting back to the sea again, where the overstimulated psyche can recover in the presence of that infinite peace and spaciousness.”

“The highest, most decisive experience is to be alone with one's own self. You must be alone to find out what supports you, when you find that you can not support yourself. Only this experience can give you an indestructible foundation.”

“I am no longer alone with myself, and I can only artificially recall the scary and beautiful feeling of solitude. This is the shadow side of the fortune of love.”

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.”

“Had I left those images hidden in the emotions, I might have been torn to pieces by them.”

“Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.”

“Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering”

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

“Intuition does not denote something contrary to reason, but something outside of the province of reason.”

“Explore daily the will of God.”

“For better to come, good must stand aside.”

“I don't aspire to be a good man. I aspire to be a whole man.”

“In such doubtful matters, where you have to work as a pioneer, you must be able to put some trust in your intuition and follow your feeling even at the risk of going wrong.”

“Whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force”

“Sentimentality is a superstructure covering brutality.”

“I have always been impressed by the fact that there are a surprising number of individuals who never use their minds if they can avoid it, and an equal number who do use their minds, but in an amazingly stupid way.”

“Every man carries within himself the eternal image of woman, not the image of this or that particular woman, but a definite feminine image. This image is fundamentally unconscious, a hereditary factor of primordial origin.”

“Space flights are merely an escape, a fleeing away from oneself, because it is easier to go to Mars or to the moon than it is to penetrate one's own being.”
