Carl Jung Quotes:

Ocupation: Psychiatrist

Life: July 26, 1875 - June 6, 1961

Birthday: July 26

Death: June 6

A patient doesn't select his physical ailments. They happen to him. You could just as well ask when you are eaten by a crocodile, 'How did you select that crocodile?'. Nonsense. He has selected you. The patient doesn't even select the symptoms unconsciously. That is an extraordinary exaggeration of the subject to say he was choosing such things. They get him.
