Carl Jung on happiness

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.

Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

Dr. Seuss1904–1991

It was when I was happiest that I longed most…The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing…to find the place where all the beauty came from.

C. S. Lewis1898–1963Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold (1956), Pt. 1, VII (Psyche)
