In Yourself

As long as anyone believes that his ideal and purpose is outside him, that it is above the clouds, in the past or in the future, he will go outside himself and seek fulfillment where it cannot be found. He will look for solutions and answers at every point except where they can be found - in himself.
Erich Fromm

Carl Jung, "Memories, Dreams, Reflections", 1962

and our intelligence aglow”
