Here are three quotes which I found insightful and interesting:
"something more and other than itself which eludes our present knowledge' is what endows it with fascination and power"(13).
"Viewed from the biological standpoint, it is true to say that the evolution of our capacity to decipher visual meanings occurred much earlier than our capacity to use language; as a result, symbols, being imagistic rather than verbal, are more directly linked to their deep structures (archetypes) than are words" (28).
"Symbols are viewed as the natural language of dreams because dreaming brain makes use of image and drama rather than words" (41).
One quote that I found confusing:
"the best possible formulation of a relatively unknown thing, which cannot for that reason be more clearly or characteristically represented" (12).
