"As long as one is childish there is only one cure, that of suffering. When one has suffered long enough, one develops; there is no way around this problem. The childish nucleus is inevitably tortured." — Marie Louise von Franz, Puer Aeternus	111	Jung
Marie Louise von Franz on analysing pueri aeterni	10	Jung

(PA.7) While the person who has too little earth may be able to assimilate everything psychologically, he will have great difficulty realizing things in reality. Such people take everything in analysis with honesty and strength, but when you press them to do something about it in outer reality...	6	VonFranz
(PA.8) Very often, you find in the puer aeternus such a rich fantasy life, but that wealth of fantasy is dammed back and cannot flow into life because the puer refuses to accept reality as it is, and thereby piles up life. He dams up his inner life.	3	VonFranz

(PA.6) The puer aeternus always tends to grasp at everything which would be the right thing to do and then to draw it back into his fantasy-theory world. He cannot cross the very simple border from fantasy to action.	2	VonFranz
