• It is a dangerous and fateful presumption, besides the absurd temerity that it implies, to disdain what we do not comprehend.

• To be a man, to have been born without knowing it or wanting it, to be thrown into the ocean of existence, to be obliged to swim, to exist; to have an identity; to resist the pressure and shocks from the outside and the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts - one's own and those of others - which so often exceed one's capacities? And what is more, to endure one's own thoughts about all this: in a word, to be human.

• I do not think I exaggerate when I say that some of us put our offering in the plate with a kind of triumphant bounce as much as to say: "There - now God will feel better!" I am obliged to tell you that God does not need anything you have. He does not need a dime of your money. It is your own spiritual welfare at stake in such matters as these. You have the right to keep what you have all to yourself - but it will rust and decay, and ultimately ruin you.

• Jung nos dio por primera vez el término "sombra" para referirse a aquellas partes de nuestra personalidad que han sido rechazadas por miedo, ignorancia, vergüenza o falta de amor. Su noción básica de la sombra era sencilla: "la sombra es la persona que preferirías no ser". Creía que integrar la sombra tendría un profundo impacto, permitiéndonos redescubrir una fuente más profunda de nuestra propia vida espiritual. Para ello", decía Jung, "estamos obligados a luchar contra el mal, a enfrentarnos a la sombra, a integrar al demonio. No hay otra opción'.
