“I think we have to destroy the stereotypes and replace them with archetypes.”
Ben Kingsley
“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”
Carl Gustav Jung
“Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as good women are. Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman.”
William Moulton Marston
“We live with our archetypes, but can we live in them?”
Poul Anderson
“I had the archetypal French bucolic upbringing, in a peasant village in deepest Burgundy.”
Raymond Blanc
“He?s an American archetype, the PR hustler, who is sort of basically good at heart, but he?s in it for the thrill of the verbal chase and he?s excited by it and he gets carried away with his own artistry.”
Christopher Buckley
“Archetypes are universal, and, in subtle or extravagant ways, interchangeable.”
