"Whoever speaks in primordial images speaks with a thousand voices; he enthralls and overpowers, while at the same time he lifts the idea he is seeking to express out of the occasional and the transitory into the realm of the ever-enduring"
I'm not sure Jung had photographic images in mind when he wrote this, but I thought it accurately described images we have all seen that are iconic -- that transcend a subject and speak to a more universal truth -- timeless.
