Dark, Understanding, World
Carl Gustav Jung (2001). “Modern Man in Search of a Soul”, p.231, Psychology Press

No one can flatter himself that he is immune to the spirit of his own epoch, or even that he possesses a full understanding of it.

Mean, Men, Understanding
Carl Gustav Jung (2012). “Man and His Symbols”, p.111, Dell
