“So it is that a man can find in such a woman an image or picture of the other part of himself, otherwise unknown to him, which indeed he does not recognize as belonging to himself. This image seems to be in her; he perceives it, but as though it were her feeling, not [...]

“We must be able to let things happen in the psyche. Our task is to observe inner processes like dreams and fantasies carefully, religiously giving them their own reality.”
“Yin, whose symbol is the tiger, is the dark, primordial ground of the soul, the dead of night, the place that the sun never touches. [...]

“Answering the following questions, for example, often enlightens the consciousness: Where am I like that snake? Where am I the stomach cramp? How am I this dream figure? When did I react of behave like that gestalt? What are my everyday problems and how does my imagination help? How is [...]

“At first, one has to project, or there is no contact, but then one should be able to correct the projection, and it is the same not only as regards human beings, but everything else also. The projection apparatus must of necessity work in us, nothing can ever be seen without the unconscious [...]

“Initial dreams are often amazingly lucid and clear cut. But as the work of analysis progresses, the dreams tend to loser their clarity. If, by the way of exception, they keep it we can be sure that the analysis has not yet touched on some important layer of the personality. As a [...]

“The words have a glorious ring to them but the reality, when the work is done right, is extremely demanding. It requires a person to face and take responsibility for everything she is, conscious and unconscious, while seeing and differentiating herself from everything she is not. This is painful, grinding, grungy, often depressing [...]

“There may be no Self, but the Self is a useful fiction which helps us find an Archimedean point, a stance outside that of the ego, from which to question all other points. Making fictions consciously is sanity and pragmatism; making fictions unconsciously, and being captivated by them, is madness. Such madness is common to [...]

“The psychology of a creative woman is somewhat different, for the realm of the mothers is her most fundamental reality. To fulfill her creative destiny a woman must become grounded in the divinity in whose image she was made — goddess, not god. When she succeeds, she no longer asks the men in her life [...]

“Even at more than twice her age, whenever I was with a man I was all too ready to give him the authority, as if I were the a child and he a father who could not be disobeyed. Women do that easily. Unsure of who we are, we hesitate to disapoint our [...]

“Romance feeds on the distant, the imagined, the projected; marriage sups the common gruel of propinquity, ubiquity and commonality.”
“Living with another person on a daily basis automatically wears away projections. This person to whom one has delivered one’s soul, to whom one has opened up in intimacy, turns out to be only a mortal [...]
