No man can change himself into anything from sheer reason; he can only change into what he potentially is. Carl Jung More Quotes by Carl Jung More Quotes From Carl Jung People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. They will practice Indian yoga and all its exercises, observe a strict regimen of diet, learn the literature of the whole world - all because they cannot get on with themselves and have not the slightest faith that anything useful could ever come out of their own souls.
