We make our soul with our behavior, for soul doesn’t come already made in heaven.

p. 260, soul’s code, James Hillman.

After all, we can still be quite clear that from the evidence of our feelings, and from the fateful idiosyncratic events, something else intervenes in human life that cannot be held within the confines of nature or nurture.

p.129, neither nature or nurture, but something else, soul’s code, James Hillman.

We are parented by everything around us – if “parenting” means watching, instructing, encouraging, and admonishing.

p.86, the soul’s code, James Hillsman.

… it doesn’t matter whether you are feminine or masculine or any composite of them. We all dissolve together. Far more urgent matters than gender call out to the passion of psychology.

p. 37, In a nutshell, the soul’s code – in search of character and meaning, James Hillman, 1996.

So this book wants to set psychology back two hundred years, to the time when Romantic enthusiasm was breaking up the Age of Reason.

p. 33, In a nutshell, The Soul’s Code – in search of character and calling, James Hillman, 1996.

Our salvation depends on our working faith.
