Robert A. Johnson

“Two things go wrong if we project our
shadow: First, we do damage to another by
burdening him with our darkness—or light,
for it is as heavy a burden to make someone
play hero for us. Second, we sterilize ourselves by casting off our shadow. We then lose
a chance to change and miss the fulcrum
point, the ecstatic dimension of our own lives.”
