V.C. King  - Quotes

 The probability of a certain set of circumstances coming together in a meaningful (or tragic) way is so low that it simply cannot be considered mere coincidence.

Carl Gustav Jung  - Quotes

 I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life - that is to say, over 35 - there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life. It is safe to say that every one of them fell ill because he had lost that which the living religions of every age have given their followers, and none of them has really been healed who did not regain his religious outlook.

James Hillman  - Quotes

 Character forms a life regardless of how obscurely that life is lived and how little light falls on it from the stars.

Nancy Farmer  - Quotes

 I am she who lifts the mountains

When she goes to hunt,

Who wears mamba for a headband

And a lion for a belt.

Beware!

I swallow elephants whole

And pick my teeth with rhinoceros horns,

I drink up rivers to get at the hippos.

Let them hear my words!

Nhamo is coming

And her hunger is great.



I am she who tosses trees

Instead of spears.

The ostrich is my pillow

And the elephant is my footstool!

I am Nhamo

Who makes the river my highway

And sends crocodiles scurrying into the reeds!

Chuck Palahniuk  - Quotes

 Maybe the only thing each of us can see is our own shadow.



Carl Jung called this his shadow work. He said we never see others. Instead we see only aspects of ourselves that fall over them. Shadows. Projections. Our associations.



The same way old painters would sit in a tiny dark room and trace the image of what stood outside a tiny window, in the bright sunlight.



The camera obscura.



Not the exact image, but everything reversed or upside down.
