Carl Jung on virtue

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.

Love, while always forgiving of imperfections and mistakes, can never cease to will their removal.
