Personality - CARL G. JUNG

Without necessity nothing budges, the human personality least of all. It is tremendously conservative, not to say torpid. Only acute necessity is able to rouse it. The developing personality obeys no caprice, no command, no insight, only brute necessity.

CARL G. JUNG (1875 - 1961), Title essay, 1934, The Development of Personality, tr. R. F. C Hull, 1954.
