“There can be no resolution— only patient endurance— of the opposites Which ultimately spring from your own nature. You yourself are a conflict that rages in itself and against itself in order to melt its incompatible substances, the male and the female in the fire of suffering , and thus create that form which is the goal of life. Everyone goes through this mill— consciously or unconsciously, voluntarily or forcibly. We are crucified between the opposites and delivered up to the torture until this third reconciling takes shape.”
— C.J. Jung Extracted from an extraordinary letter to a friend Mrs Frobe, written at age 70 in 1945
