Carl Jung - From the Artists category:
As a human being the artist may have many moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is 'man' in a higher sense – he is 'collective man' – one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic life of mankind. (Carl Jung)

Colors express the main psychic functions of man. (Carl Jung)

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. (Carl Jung)

The greater the tension, the greater is the potential. Great energy springs from a correspondingly great tension of opposites. (Carl Jung)
Carl Jung - From the Greatness category:
The biographies of great artists make it abundantly clear that the creative urge is often so imperious that it battens on their humanity and yokes everything to the service of the work, even at the cost of health and ordinary human happiness. The unborn work in the psyche of the artist is a force of nature that achieves its end either with tyrannical might or with the subtle cunning of nature herself, quite regardless of the personal fate of the man who is its vehicle. (Carl Jung)

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. (Carl Jung)

We must be able to let things happen in the psyche. For us, this becomes a real art... Consciousness is forever interfering, helping, correcting, and negating, never leaving the single growth of the psychic processes in peace. (Carl Jung)
Carl Jung - From the Imagination category:
Without the playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth.The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable. (Carl Jung)

The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. (Carl Jung)

Carl Jung - From the Mysteries category:
The secret of artistic creation and the effectiveness of art is to be found in a return to the state of 'participation mystique' – to that level of experience at which it is man who lives, and not the individual... (Carl Jung)
Carl Jung - From the Play category:
The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. (Carl Jung)

The dynamic principle of fantasy is play, which belongs also to the child, and as such it appears to be inconsistent with the principle of serious work. But without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. (Carl Jung)
Carl Jung - From the Play category:
The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable. (Carl Jung)

Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. To perform this difficult office it is sometimes necessary for him to sacrifice happiness and everything that makes life worth living for the ordinary human being. (Carl Jung)
Carl Jung - From the Simplicity category:
If only simplicity were not the most difficult of all things. It consists of watching objectively the development of any fragment of fantasy. (Carl Jung)
Carl Jung - From the Suffering category:
There is no birth of consciousness without pain. (Carl Jung)
