Jung said you can cure a psychotic patient if you can make him creative. In other words, if what is destroying him from within can be brought forth in writing or painting or some other form, then he can be cured. What we try to do is to help people bring forth the self. - Von Franz

The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprisisng, and gave to it neither power nor time. - Mary Oliver
