More From Carl Jung

Most people have some appreciation of mathematics, just as most people can enjoy a pleasant tune; and there are probably more people really interested in mathematics than in music. appearances suggest the contrary, but there are easy explanations. music can be used to stimulate mass emotion, while mathematics cannot; and musical incapacity is recognized (no doubt rightly) as mildly discreditable, whereas most people are so frightened of the name of mathematics that they are ready, quite unaffectedly, to exaggerate their own mathematical stupidity

Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. there is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. a table is a table, food is food, we are we - because we don't question these things. and science is the enemy because it is the questioner. faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.
Life Taken Science
This rose became a bandanna, which became a house, which became infused with all passion, which became a hideaway, which became yes i would like to have dinner, which became hands, which became lands, shores, beaches, natives on the stones, staring and wild beasts in the trees, chasing the hats of lost hunters, and all this deserves a tone.

I could tell by his expression that once he got over his anger at me for keeping this secret from him, there was nothing left to talk about. he wasn't confused. he didn't need questions answered. he didn't ask why or how or with whom or whether i thought maybe it might just be a phase. he didn't ask who knew and who didn't know or whether i thought it might ruin my career. i was his sister and he didn't care whether i was straight or gay; it simply didn't matter to him.
Confused Gay Expression
The poet dreams of the classroom i dreamed i stood up in class and i said aloud: teacher, why is algebra important? sit down, he said. then i dreamed i stood up and i said: teacher, i’m weary of the turkeys that we have to draw every fall. may i draw a fox instead? sit down, he said. then i dreamed i stood up once more and said: teacher, my heart is falling asleep and it wants to wake up. it needs to be outside. sit down, he said.

Attempts to wake before our time are often punished, especially by those who love us most. because they, bless them, are asleep. they think anyone who wakes up, or who, still asleep, realizes that what is taken to be real is a ‘dream’ is going crazy.

A collection of bad love songs, tattered from overuse, has to touch us like a cemetery or a village. so what if the houses have no style, if the graves are vanishing under tasteless ornaments and inscriptions? before an imagination sympathetic and respectful enough to conceal momentarily its aesthetic disdain, that dust may release a flock of souls, their beaks holding the still verdant dreams that gave them an inkling of the next world and let them rejoice or weep in this world.
Dream Song Dust
For me it was a calling to public service. i often tell people other than a whole lot of zeros, he and i have a lot in common, and that is a belief in the american dream because we both [with donald trump] have lived it.
