The source

"Your education does not end when school does." Carl Jung said it in Contributions to Analytical Psychology (1928), 'Analytical Psychology and Education', Lecture I (1923). Translated by H. G. and C. F. Baynes, 1928.

"You are perhaps surprised to hear me speak of the education of the educator, but I must tell you that I am far from thinking that a man completes his education when he finishes school, even if the latter be of the college grade."

Who said it

Carl Jung (1875–1961). Swiss psychiatrist who broke with Freud and founded analytical psychology. He mapped the persona, the shadow, the collective unconscious and the lifelong work of becoming yourself, which he called individuation. Our lines come only from his writings published before 1931, in our own translations from the German or in English translations of the time.
