Marie-Louise von Franz was a Swiss Jungian psychologist and scholar known for her work in the field of analytical psychology. Here are a few quotes by Marie-Louise von Franz:
1. ”The psyche is the greatest of all cosmic wonders and the sine qua non of the world as an object. It is in the highest degree odd that Western man, with but very few – and ever fewer – exceptions, apparently pays so little regard to this fact.”
2. ”The unconscious psyche believes in life after death.”
3. ”In myths, the hero is the one who conquers the dragon, not the one who is devoured by it. And yet both have to deal with the same dragon. Also, he is no hero who never met the dragon, or who, if he once saw it, declared afterwards that he saw nothing. Equally, only one who has risked the fight with the dragon and is not overcome by it wins the hoard, the ’treasure hard to attain’. He alone has a genuine claim to self-confidence, for he has faced the dark ground of his self and thereby has gained himself.”
These quotes highlight Marie-Louise von Franz’s exploration of the unconscious mind, the importance of facing one’s fears and struggles, and the significance of myths and symbols in understanding the human psyche.
