All mythological ideas are essentially real, and far older than any philosophy. Like our knowledge of physical nature, they were originally perceptions and experiences. In so far as such ideas are universal, they are symptoms or characteristics or normal exponents of psychic life, which are naturally present and need no proof of their truth.
— Carl Jung
The universe is flirting with you.
Are you noticing?
I do not know the name of the feeling that I have for you. But it is a special tenderness, something I have never felt until now, not for anyone.
— Gustave Flaubert in correspondence with George Sand; Croisset, 12 November 1866, Monday night, from Selected Letters
I would rather be whole than good
- Carl Jung

— Fernando Pessoa, from The Book of Disquiet
