Carl Jung: Where is a height without depth, and how can there be light that throws no shadow? There is no good that is not opposed by evil.

Christ the ideal took upon himself the sins of the world.

But if the ideal is wholly outside then the sins of the individual are also outside, and consequently he is more of a fragment than ever, since superficial misunderstanding conveniently enables him, quite literally, to "cast his sins upon Christ" and thus to evade his deepest responsibilities—which is contrary to the spirit of Christianity. ~Carl Jung, CW 10, Para 9

It is no longer a question of a few dozen voluntary or involuntary old maids here and there, but of millions.

Our legislation and our social morality give no answer to this question.

Or can the Church provide a satisfactory answer?

Should we build gigantic nunneries to accommodate all these women?

Or should tolerated prostitution be increased?

Obviously this is impossible, since we are dealing neither with saints nor sinners but with ordinary women who cannot register their spiritual requirements with the police.

They are decent women who want to marry, and if this is not possible, well—the next best thing. ~Carl Jung, CW 10, Para 248

Where is a height without depth, and how can there be light that throws no shadow? There is no good that is not opposed by evil.

"No man can be redeemed from a sin he has not committed," says Carpocrates; a deep saying for all who wish to understand, and a golden opportunity for all those who prefer to draw false conclusions.

What is down below is not just an excuse for more pleasure, but something we fear because it demands to play its part in the life of the more conscious and more complete man. ~Carl Jung, CW 10, Para 271
