Quote by Carl Gustav Jung, Psychological

Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.

Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangero

Summary

This quote suggests that people with great talents are both admired and feared. Like beautiful fruits on a tree, they catch the attention and admiration of others. However, their talents can also be risky and potentially destructive. Just as delicate fruit hangs on thin twigs, their abilities and success can be easily jeopardized or lost. This creates vulnerability and adds to the danger, as the consequences of their actions can have a significant impact on themselves and those around them.
