All to easily does self-criticism poisons one's naïveté, that priceless possession, or rather gift which no creative man can be without.

C.G. Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul

[writtenart]

It is true that widely accepted ideas are never the personal property of their so-called author; on the contrary, he is the bond-servant of his ideas. Although they come into being at a definite time, they are and have always been timeless; they arise from that realm of procreative, psychic life out of which the ephemeral mind of the single human being grows like a plant that blossoms, bears fruit and seed, and then withers and dies. Ideas spring from a source that is not contained within one man's personal life. We do not create them; they create us.

Carl Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul
