“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”

Words by Carl Jung (1875-1961) — Swiss psychiatrist, founder of analytical psychology.

About this quote

This quote compares human relationships to chemical reactions. When two people truly connect, the interaction alters them both permanently. It suggests that genuine encounters are never one-sided or passive. Instead, meaningful relationships require vulnerability and mutual engagement, leaving neither person entirely the same as they were before they met. It frames personal growth as a shared, transformative process.

The line appears in Carl Jung's 1933 book, Modern Man in Search of a Soul. Writing about psychotherapy, Jung argued that treatment is a dynamic exchange between two equal human beings rather than a one-way treatment.

People often hang this print in a study or living room to celebrate meaningful human connections and shared growth.
