Quote of the day

The great decisions of human life have as a rule far more to do with the instincts and other mysterious unconscious factors than with conscious will and well-meaning reasonableness. The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that fits all cases. Each of us carries his own life-form – an indeterminable form which cannot be superseded by any other.

Carl Jung

Quote :
