Number and Time Quotes

“Numbers, furthermore as archetypal structural constants of the collective unconscious, possess a dynamic, active aspect which is especially important to keep in mind. It is not what we can do with numbers but what they do to our consciousness that is essential.”
― Marie-Louise von Franz, Number and Time: Reflections Leading Towards a Unification of Psychology and Physics

“Number ... should not be understood solely as a construction of consciousness, but also as an archetype and thus as a constituent of nature both without and within.”
― Marie-Louise von Franz, Number and Time: Reflections Leading Towards a Unification of Psychology and Physics
