“Jung Chang was the first person to tell a grand historical, political story through a personal narrative.”

“Jung first gave us the term ‘shadow’ to refer to those parts of our personality that have been rejected out of fear, ignorance, shame, or lack of love. His basic notion of the shadow was simple: ‘the shadow is the person you would rather not be.’ He believed that integrating the shadow would have a profound impact, enabling us to rediscover a deeper source of our own spiritual life. ‘To do this,’ Jung said, ‘we are obliged to struggle with evil, confront the shadow, to integrate the devil. There is no other choice.’”
“Jung Heewon unsheathed her sword and spoke. “I don’t know anything about the future. However, I do know this. You said that you want to save this world? It’s the same for me, too.”
Her determination manifested in the whitish flames billowing on the [Sword of Judgement].
"That man is the world I wish to save.”
“Jung Min is extra friendly. Not meaning that his face/appearance is extra friendly, but his personality is very friendly and mature. At home, he often washes dishes. In dorms, he also cooks for everyone. He usually offers to help others and takes good care of everyone. He is a very outgoing and interesting friend.”
“Jung Min is SS501's Hitler. When we lived together, we played video games. But we can't turn the sound loud. Not even by one click. Jung Min says we can't have it loud, so we're like “Ok, fine. He's our member, so let's be understanding and turn it down.” We turn it off, but he goes to his room and does karaoke!”
“Jung Min’s palms are always sweating and he wears strange socks!”
“Jung’s image of the stage of becoming a tree is well illustrated here. The little man is stuck. In the West he would be taken away, perhaps, to an institution and cured back (shock treatment, etc.) to society. Here, he is permitted to sit it out and perhaps go through to Buddhahood—perhaps, on the other hand, simply to remain stuck, as a living symbol of spiritual effort. There are no hospitals, there are no asylums. The lepers sit out on the streets and so do the madmen. But some of the madmen can break through, and these breakthroughs are giving India something that the West really lacks.”

“Jung said there are four archetypes adults go through, and these archetypes are reflected in the development of my work. The first archetype is the archetype of the athlete, reflecting the time in our adult life when our primary emphasis is on our body - what it looks like, how beautiful it is, how strong it is, and so on. We identify ourselves with our body. We are our body. Growing adults next move to what Jung called the archetype of the warrior. We take our physical bodies out there to do what warriors do.”
“Jung se separó de su mentor, Sigmund Freud, en 1912. Los dos grandes pensadores habían llegado a un punto de desacuerdo fundamental acerca de la naturaleza de la psique humana. Freud consideraba que la mente inconsciente de los seres humanos era un receptáculo caótico y oscuro de primitivas necesidades sexuales, y como científico, tenía un punto de vista borroso de todos los fenómenos religiosos y psíquicos, y prefería considerar estos elementos de la naturaleza humana tan sólo como otro aspecto del sexo, la neurosis y la represión.”

“Jung viewed Freud as a mentor, but he never wanted to be anybody's disciple.”
“Jung was absolutely right about one thing. We are occupied by gods. The mistake is to identify with the god occupying you.”

“Jung writes that women with a negative mother complex often miss the first half of life; they walk past it in a dream. Life to them is a constant source of annoyance and irritation. But if they can overcome this negative mother complex, they have a good chance in the second half of rediscovering life with the youthful spontaneity missed in the first half. For though, as Jung says in the last paragraph, a part of life has been lost, its meaning has been saved. That is the tragedy of such women, but they can get to the turning point, and in the second half of life have their hands healed and can stretch them out for what they want — not from the animus or from the ego, but, according to nature, simply stretch out their hands toward something they love. Though it is infinitely simple, it is extremely difficult, for it is the one thing the woman with a negative mother complex cannot do; it needs God's help. Even the analyst cannot help her — it must one day just happen, and this is generally when there has been sufficient suffering. One cannot escape one's fate; the whole pain of it must be accepted, and one day the infinitely simple solution comes.”

“Junge, sei nicht so naiv! Denkst du denn, die anderen würden nicht bei ihren Aufgaben betrügen? Jeder wird zum Betrüger, wenn er verzweifelt ist. Du bist jung und stehst vermutlich noch am Anfang deiner Queste. Natürlich willst du alles richtig machen, deine Bürgerpflicht erfüllen, unsere Gesellschaft beschützen und was weiß ich. Aber am Ende geht es nur noch um unser eigenes Leben und darum, dass einige Prophezeiungen leichter zu erfüllen sind als andere. Das System ist ungerecht. Und wenn man das erst mal erkannt hat, dann ist es doch völlig verständlich, dass man für etwas mehr … Gerechtigkeit sorgen will. Warum soll ich keine Chance haben, in mein Leben zurückzukehren? Warum soll ich den Preis bezahlen und alles verlieren, wenn andere das nicht tun? Angeblich sind wir doch alle gleich, jeder hat die gleichen Chancen, ausgewählt zu werden und seine Bürgerpflicht zu tun. Aber wie soll das gehen, wenn die Prophezeiungen selbst nicht gerecht sind und einige benachteiligen?”

“Jungians such as Joseph Campbell have generalised such journeys into a set of archetypal events and images. Though they can be useful in criticism, I mistrust them as fatally reductive. “Ah, the Night Sea Voyage!” we cry, feeling that we have understood something important — but we’ve merely recognised it. Until we are actually on that voyage, we have understood nothing.”

“Junior colleges are high schools with ashtrays.”
“Junior coughed into a white handkerchief, inspecting it before putting it back into his pocket. Never trust a man who carries a handkerchief, I always say. One of many prejudicial rules of thumb.”

“Junior finds what he’s seeking in a swale between two ridges. He glasses down at the elk from a hillside aflame with autumn color. The animal strides through the clearing about five hundred yards due east, dipping its head now and then to nibble on receding grass that soon will disappear for the winter.”

“Junior high is so much worse than high school because at least in high school different is more accepted, celebrated actually: all the girls with blue hair and gothic Hello Kitty backpacks.”
“Junior huffed. "The point is, this rope is even better! I call it Andskoti. It is woven with the most powerful paradoxes in the Nine Worlds-.Wi-Fi with no lag, a politician's sincerity, a printer that prints, health deep-fried food, and an interesting grammar lecture!”
“Junior told me once that he was very impressed by Jimi Hendrix, by the way he was very wild, and yet he was very controlled. He knew where everything was going in a solo, and he (Junior), I think tries for the same effect, and I think he hits it virtually every time.”
“Junior was being chided for his low grades. Little Robert, who lived a few doors away, was held up as an example. "Robert doesn't get C's and D's does he?" asked his father. "No," Junior admitted, "but he's different. He has very bright parents".”

“Junior was eleven. The statement is significant. There are a few peevish people in the world who believe that all eleven-year-old boys ought to be hung. Others, less irritable, think that gently chloroforming them would seem more humane. A great many good-natured folks contend that incarceration for a couple of years would prove the best way to dispose of them.”

“Junipers are generally chosen for the latter purpose, as they can be more readily bent into the desired form; the eyes and tongue are added afterwards, and the representation altogether is really good.”

“Junk bonds prove there's nothing magical in a Aaa bond rating.”
“Junk food companies are acting very much like tobacco companies did 30 years ago.”
“Junk food is appealing to the homeless not just because it’s cheap but because it can be bought in places where no one looks at them twice as they stand in fast moving lines to order and pay. This is important for them as they are very alive to being noticed, observed and – usually – judged. They don’t generally buy healthy little quinoa salads from M&S not just because they can’t afford them, but also because they’re embarrassed – people stare at them – they don’t really belong in M&S.”

“Junk is fragile. I ruined tons of stuff, never on purpose. The thought of antiques still makes me sick, but that was our bread and butter. The scrapings of time are sad. . . lousy, sickening. We sold the stuff over the customer's dead body. We'd wear him down. We'd drown his wits in floods of hokum. . . incredible bargains. . . we were merciless. . . He couldn't win. . . If he had any wits to begin with, we demolished them. . . He'd walk out stunned with the Louis XIII cup in his pocket, the openwork fan with cat and shepherdess wrapped in tissue paper. You can't imagine how they revolted me, grown-ups taking such crap home with them.”
