Carl Jung on history

Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.

Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.

The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes.

Adolf Hitler1889–1945

There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.

Harry S. Truman1884–1972
