um skuggann. Höfum talað svoldið um skuggann hér í prógramminu. En öll höfum við skugga eða skuggahlið sem við annaðhvort viðurkennum eða ekki. Á þessari síðu eru tilvitnanir í skrif hans um skuggann.

The masculinity of the woman and the femininity of the man are inferior, and it is regrettable that the full value of their personalities should be contaminated by something that is less valuable. On the other hand, the shadow belongs to the wholeness of the personality: the strong man must somewhere be weak, somewhere the clever man must be stupid, otherwise he is too good to be true and falls back on pose and bluff. Is it not an old truth that woman loves the weaknesses of the strong man more than his strength, and the stupidity of the clever man more than his cleverness ?
