Self-actualized people...live more in the real world of nature than in the man-made mass of concepts, abstractions, expectations, beliefs and stereotypes that most people confuse with the world.

We may define therapy as a search for value.

Love, safety, belongingness and respect from other people are almost panaceas for the situational disturbances and even for some of the mild character disturbances.

Musicians must make music, artists must paint, poets must write if they are to be ultimately at peace with themselves. What human beings can be, they must be. They must be true to their own nature. This need we may call self-actualization.

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.

To make the growth choice instead of the fear choice a dozen times a day is to move a dozen times a day towards self-actualisation.

I was awfully curious to find out why I didn't go insane.
