Carl Jung Quotes

There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.

The judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth.

Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.

The heart yields spontaneity; the mind bends to understanding.

The mind can calculate, but the spirit yearns, and the heart knows what the heart knows
