“In practical terms, the ego-shadow split is alleviated through the development of the feeling function, for it is feeling that determines the value of the opposites involved in any conflict situation.”
― Daryl Sharp, The Secret Raven: Conflict and Transformation in the Life of Franz Kafka

“It often happens: you're talking with someone, and you kind of like what he's saying, and there seems to be some truth in it. Then suddenly you notice he's wearing an old tee shirt, his slippers are darned, his trousers are patched at the knee and the furniture in his room is worn and cheap. You look a bit closer and all around you you see signs of humiliating poverty you didn't notice before, and you realise everything your interlocutor has done and thought in his life has failed to lead him to that single victory that you wanted so badly on that distant May morning when you gritted your teeth and promised yourself you wouldn't lose, even though it still wasn't really very clear just who you were playing with and what the game was. And although it hasn't become the slightest bit clearer since then, you immediately lose interest in what he's saying. You want to say goodbye to him in some pleasant fashion, get away as quickly as possible and finally get down to business.”
― Victor Pelevin, Generation "П". Повести. Рассказы

“Two preliminary possibilities exist for resolving a conflict. You can tally up the pro's and con's on each side and reach a logically satisfying decision, or you can opt to do what you "really want," and then proceed to do what is necessary to make it possible.”
― Daryl Sharp, The Secret Raven: Conflict and Transformation in the Life of Franz Kafka

“The fact that someone understands is enough, even though one cannot understand oneself then the temperature drops and a certain quietness comes, and then perhaps the patient may also understand. Archetypal contents are sometimes far away and if the patient is not drawn to them in these terms you cannot get the meaning across, but the feeling that somebody else understands has a calming effect.”
― Marie-Louise von Franz, The Psychological Meaning of Redemption Motifs in Fairytales
