"This is my first direct exposure to Goethe's Faust and while I'm only in Act I, page 30, I already feel fairly comfortable thanks to the extended readings in the Interpretive Notes and other rich supplemental reading provided by the Norton Critical Edition. I struck gold finding this used book at Half Priced Books!" — Nov 23, 2013 01:02AM

"I began reading this at "Psychology of the Transference". Jung describes transference in terms of alchemy. An appropriate parallel as both operate heavily in the psychology of projection. Jung does a great job in receiving alchemy in the process. A must read if you wish to understand Jung's understanding of alchemy. I'm working my way up to Mysterium Coniunctionis." — May 03, 2014 11:32PM

“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”

“The sad truth is that man's real life consists of a complex of inexorable opposites—day and night, birth and death, happiness and misery, good and evil. We are not even sure that one will prevail against the other, that good will overcome evil, or joy defeat pain. Life is a battleground. It always has been and always will be; and if it were not so, existence would come to an end.”

“I want to see you.
Know your voice.
Recognize you when you
first come 'round the corner.
Sense your scent when I come
into a room you've just left.
Know the lift of your heel,
the glide of your foot.
Become familiar with the way
you purse your lips
then let them part,
just the slightest bit,
when I lean in to your space
and kiss you.
I want to know the joy
of how you whisper

“The unrealistic nature of these tales (which narrowminded rationalists object to) is an important device, because it makes obvious that the fairy tales’ concern is not useful information about the external world, but the inner process taking place in an individual.”

“Only man as an individual human being lives; the state is just a system, a mere machine for sorting and tabulating the masses. Anyone, therefore, who thinks in terms of men minus the individual, in huge numbers, atomizes himself and becomes a thief and a robber to himself. He is infected with the leprosy of collective thinking and has become an inmate of that insalubrious stud-farm called the totalitarian State. Our”
