Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself. – Carl Jung
Understanding does not cure evil, but it is a definite help, inasmuch as one can cope with a comprehensible darkness. – Carl Jung
Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable. – Carl Jung
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. – Carl Jung
Man’s task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious. – Carl Jung
Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood? – Carl Jung

Just as we might take Darwin as an example of the normal extraverted thinking type, the normal introverted thinking type could be represented by Kant.

We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more. – Carl Jung
