The great events of world history are, at bottom, profoundly unimportant. In the last analysis, the essential thing is the life of the individual. / This alone makes history, here alone do the great transformations first take place, and the whole future, the whole history of the world, ultimately spring as a gigantic summation from these hidden sources in individuals. / In our most private and most subjective lives we are not only the passive witnesses of our age, and its sufferers, but also its makers. We make our own epoch. / C.G. Jung, 1934
