"Psychologically, [the child is] an image of both the irrecoverable past and an anticipation of future development."
"In every adult there lurks a child–an eternal child, something that is always becoming, is never completed, and calls for unceasing care, attention, and education. That is the part of the personality which wants to develop and become whole."
"Children are in the collective unconscious until they acquire a small consciousness of their personality, until they say “I,” or “me,” or their name. They are rooted in the collective unconscious and are uprooted from it by the flood of impressions from the outside. They know everything, but they lose the memory of it."
"How am I to be creative? Nature knows only one answer to that: Through a child (the gift of love)."
