Quote by Carl Gustav Jung

A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.

A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions

Summary

This quote suggests that one cannot truly overcome their passions unless they have experienced and confronted the intense and tumultuous aspects of their desires. It implies that one must go through a transformative process, likened to an inferno, where they confront and navigate their passions before truly being able to transcend and control them. Only by facing the depths of one's emotions can they hope to find a sense of mastery and inner peace, having conquered the fiery energy within.
