More From Carl Jung

Christian morality (so called) has all the characters of a reaction; it is, in great part, a protest against paganism. its ideal is negative rather than positive; passive rather than action; innocence rather than nobleness; abstinence from evil, rather than energetic pursuit of good: in its precepts (as has been well said) "thou shalt not" predominates unduly over "thou shalt.

I always say people would rather be nice than right. i like to be nice too, but come on. people frequently ask me, what is my definition of politically correct. my answer is always the same: the elevation of sensitivity over truth. people would rather be nice than right, rather be sensitive than true. well, being nice and sensitive are important, but they're not more important than being right; they're not more important than the truth.

I would rather be ashes than dust! i would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. i would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. the function of man is to live, not to exist. i shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. i shall use my time.

It may seem to your conceited to suppose that you can do anything important toward improving the lot of mankind. but this is a fallacy. you must believe that you can help bring about a better world. a good society is produced only by good individuals, just as truly as a majority in a presidential election is produced by the votes of single electors. everybody can do something toward creating in his own environment kindly feelings rather than anger, reasonableness rather than hysteria, happiness rather than misery.

In true friendship, in which i am expert, i give myself to my friend more than i draw him to me. i not only like doing him good better than having him do me good, but also would rather have him do good to himself than to me; he does me most good when he does himself good.

An institution which is financed by a budget - or which enjoys a monopoly which the customer cannot escape - is rewarded for what it deserves rather than what it earns. it is paid for 'good intentions' and 'programs'. it is paid for not alienating important constituents rather than satisfying any one group. it is misdirected by the way it is being paid into defining performance and results as what will produce the budget rather than as what will produce contribution.

My mountaineering skills are not important to my best photographs, but they do add a component to my work that is definitely a bit different than that of most photographers.
