“The snake that cannot shed its skin must die.”

- Nietzsche

“There is. . . nothing with which I am not linked.”

“At times I feel as if I am spread out over the landscape and inside things, and am myself living in every tree, in the splashing of the waves, in the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession of the seasons. There is nothing in the Tower that has not grown into its own for over the decades, nothing with which I am not linked.

– C. G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections (MDR), pp. 225-226
