Resistance

A field guide to the disowned self, after C. G. Jung

XI

Did Jung say it?

Ten sentences. Five are his.

Jung is quoted far more often than he is read, and the sentences that travel best are frequently not his. Some belong to somebody else. Some are paraphrases that got tidier with each retelling. Guess each one, and the answer comes with a paragraph number or an explanation of where it really came from.

Did he say it?
01 / 10Ten sentences
Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is.

J for Jung. N for not.

Afterwards

The real ones here are five of twenty passages gathered on Jung on the shadow, each with its volume and paragraph so it can be checked in any edition, and the misattributed ones are listed at the end of that page with what is known about them. If a sentence you love is missing from it, that is worth a moment.
