The Afternoon of Life

But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of life’s morning; for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie. ~Carl Jung, CW 8, Para 784

The afternoon of life is just as full of meaning as the morning; only, its meaning and purpose are different…. ~Carl Jung, CW 7, ¶114.

The afternoon of human life must also have a significance of its own and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life's morning. ~Carl Jung, CW 8, Pages 399-403.
