Creativity is a characteristic given to all human beings at birth.

Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be.

We fear our highest possibility. We are generally afraid to become that which we can glimpse in our most perfect moments.

It isn't normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.

Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.

We need not take refuge in supernatural gods to explain our saints and sages and heroes and statesmen, as if to explain our disbelief that mere unaided human beings could be that good or wise.

The human being is so constructed that he pressed toward fuller and fuller being.
