Carl Jung: on the meaning of self knowledge:
"The very fact that through self knowledge, that is by exploring our own souls, we come upon the instincts and their world of imagery should throw some light on the powers slumbering in the psyche, of which we are seldom aware so long as all goes well. They are potentialities of the greatest dynamism, and it depends entirely on the preparedness and the attitude of the conscious mind whether the irruption of these forces and the images and ideas associated with them, will tend towards construction or catastrophe."
